These Crooks Need to Be Stopped

Regardless of which one gets elected, he is likely to do the bidding of crooks who should be serving prison time rather than making policy:

Tacitly admitting the sham character of the election debate, the New York Times published a news analysis Thursday that conceded that neither Obama nor Romney was telling the American people what they intended to do during the next four years.

The newspaper wrote, “Voters are left to extrapolate from the signals sent during the debates what the future would hold under an Obama second term or a first term of a President Romney. Americans can make interpretations from the values and concepts expressed, even if there are few tangible plans to consider.”

The Washington Post published an editorial chiding both candidates for not preparing public opinion for the shock effect of the measures that will be adopted in rapid order after the elections. In language virtually identical to the bankers’ letter, the editorial pointed to the January 1 deadline and warned, “This so-called fiscal cliff is only the most immediate test in the longer-term challenge that will surely consume much of the president’s term: how to get the nation’s fiscal house in order.”

The "fiscal" argument was always a bunch of bullshit anyway; this is all about forcing a neoliberal "austerity" policy to bail out the crooks who caused the mess in the first place by forcing everybody else to "sacrifice."

If Obama, who I expect will get re-elected next month, dares to put the "entitlements" on the table, I want the Democratic Party to split in half or outright force fakers like him out.
