The Republicans are like a broken record on the "debt ceiling". They think that if they take away government programs and make everyone poor and holy that they can pull the country out of a recession. That's like solving the problems of a depressed person by handing them a loaded weapon.

You just wait. You think we got recession now, wait until the Repubs get through with their austerity programs. They think that the solution for hunger is to starve everyone so that their cronies can eat well at the expense of the poor and middle class.

It's a "let 'em eat cake" situation.

The Greedy Old Party is at least consistent. They caused the Great Depression of the Thirties and they want to bring it back again for the benefit of the new Rockerfellers, Carnegies,(C.E.O.'s and banks) and the great robber barons of yore. With Republicans in office, watch your wallet.
