We know, they are all the same. Neither side cares about the people, just the agendas. Our government is a huge mess.

Which is more irresponsible, borrowing even more money, or actually proposing a way to cut spending to make America solvent? It's irresponsible for
Obama to be president for four years and not proposing a workable and realistic budget. Whenever he proposes something it's so preposterous not even Democrats vote for it. His last budget didn't get a single Democrat vote in the Senate or the House. That's unprecedented for a sitting president. I think the lions share of responsibility lies at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

according to something I saw on the news earlier today, when asked whose fault it is if we do not avoid the fiscal cliff, 27 percent said it was Obama's fault and 60 some percent said it was the fault of the Republican House of Representatives
