Shame on us.
The bizarre and disgusting budget process in which congress and the president are engaged is a shame on the American voters who sent them to Washington. The nation's fiscal health is terminal. The collapse of the dollar as the international medium of exchange is imminent. Serious planning measures must be applied to come up with a budget to keep the government operating, and being a player on the international scene. Instead we have a series of take-it-or-leave it proposals to make totally irresponsible draconian cuts in all social programs, which comprise a very small fraction of the federal budget. The rabid tea party republicans know such proposals cannot pass, but they are more interested in maneuvering to place the blame for a government shut-down, and stalemate, on the Dems. Such gamesmanship at this critical juncture in our nation's history is shameful, criminal. And it will be the rank and file government employees, and the commerce associated with their pay checks who will pay the penalty for this congressional farce, not congressmen.

You are as usual, on target.
The phony "Tea partiers" are nothing mor than teenagers with no more sense than any other teenagers in our society.
Why do we give authority to these indoctrinated and generally unaware fledgelings to gut the needs of the entire population?
Radicals have always rallied interest in our culture but these "want to be" Republicans are completely out of line with reality.
Our mission, today, is to find the most acceptable solutions and move forward leaving the (newest) radical extremists in our past. America does not deserve even more notoriety as an "undecided" culture.
If the T's don't like the results so be it. That's life. Sometimes you win but most times you lose.
Impeach them all!!
