If only Obama had signed on to the Ryan plan. Cuts so unpopular they would be political suicide, coupled with absurdly optimistic growth projections, are what this country needs.

Or the original Boehner proposal that had fifty billion-with-a-b in cuts the first year that would have only cost a hundred billion to implement. Boehner led the way in calling for fiscal sleight of hand and dodging difficult choices, but Obama passed up the chance.

The Tea Party, of course, deserves none of the blame.

Mr. Snark, as an enabler of our dimwitted President, we blame you. Break out your calculator and run the numbers, all your ideas of big massive government are unsustainable. So you won't feel alone the lefties of Europe are facing the same problem. Next time you make a ponzi scheme, don't create cultural situations that undermine your base. You will last longer before things become obviously unsustainable. Shame on you!

What happens when China plays the adult and cuts of the kiddie's credit card?

Perhaps Bono can please our case to them to have our debt forgiven?
