The hard part is that we are STILL within the Great Recession, and the resulting austerity will not be a good thing.<br /><br />If I thought that this would force the idiots to confront the reality that the GOP is fucking crazy I'd be more sanguine. I don't; the courtier press will insist that "both sides do it!" and the GOP Pretty Hate Machine will blare out lies and spin, and a critical 30-40% of the electorate will be behind the bullshit body and soul.<br /><br />And of the remaining two-thirds half of that will be utterly clueless and useless...<br /><br />Sadly, I don't see this as a watershed so much as a symptom of how debased our polity has become...FDChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607785969510234092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-91868126814877397862012-12-27T10:57:59.025-07:002012-12-27T10:57:59.025-07:00Yep.

The older term for this was "feudalism", where the econo/military elites took in everything and "trickled it down" to their retainers.<br /><br />I doubt whether these fucktards really understand this, but that is the effect of what they're fussing for.

I think killing all the Bush tax cuts is a wonderful starting point for making the Republicans come clean about kowtowing to the plutocracy, and forcing cuts in the "sacred" defense budget is also laudable. <br />BTW should I read anything into Firefox's spell checker suggesting Krugerrand in place of Krugman?
