Seems apropos, given the way in which the fiscal ~~cliff~~ bump has been negotiated in Washington.
I guess Obama can relate to what Sir Paul has to say. On the other hand, let us all give thanks for crazy tea party types. Were they not around, Boehner might just say “yes” when Obama does. Instead, he says “no”, which has so far preserved us from the wrecking ball being applied to Social Security or Medicare.
It does seem odd, doesn’t it, that the same people that have been warning us for years that our deficit is out of control, and that we must control it at all costs, including adopting European style austerity, are panicked at the thought that in a few days austerity will be instituted, and deficit cutting measures imposed. The real problem, of course, is that their own oxen are being gored, at least to a limited extent, and they aren’t used to that.
