Slashing SS, Medicare, Medicaid are elements in the Ryan budget and have been part of the rep platform as far back as the Clinton admin ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Stat... Obama is leaning across the aisle as a means to engage negotiation w/ the obstinate reps. I disagree w/ Obama. He should stand his ground and wait to see if America votes the reps out of power mid term.
The rep congress has a hideous disapproval rating right now ... http://www.pollingreport.com/cong_rep.ht... This should transcend to 2014 since the reps are so predictably likely to obstruct instead of negotiate/compromise like we voters expect our politicians to do.
Because the House is probably the most obnoxious useless anti-American group of jackasses I have ever seen in my 50+ years of existence. And their refusal to compromise and do the right thing for America is to blame for this garbage agreement.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
