It's amazing how clueless you are. They offered the recommendations of Obama's own debt reduction task force. Obama offered them nothing.
Instead of your delusional analogy, Obama's offer was to screw their wife, daughter and dog, take their truck and only charge them $1,000 for the pleasure. Increasing taxes and spending will not solve the deficits, the debt or improve the economy. It was an offer that insulted our intelligence.
Apparently, you need to have intelligence to have been insulted.
You always get your best deal at the court house steps. That is what I have learned in 38 years of negotiating multi million (and a few billion) dollar deals for clients. Both sides start at one extreme and come together at the alter at the last minute.
It is part of our democracy. Would you have one side bend over to the other?
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.
