Give tax cuts to the rich now and pay later or do the hard work now for a better future?

1. Republicans use another twist of that same parable.

Live off unemployment now and pay later, or work three menial jobs with no possibility of advancement and no healthcare for a better future? :crazy:

Arguing with the perspective-challenged is a waste of breath.

"This is a short-term Washington fix," former DNC header Howard Dean declared on CBS's "Face the Nation." "It does nothing about this biggest long-term threat to America, which is the deficit. I don't hear Republicans or Democrats talking about the deficit. There is no pain in this agreement. This is the easy way out for everybody, much as everybody is complaining, hooting and hollering, this is an inside-the-beltway fuss and somebody needs to do something about the long-term problems to this country. It is not in this bill."

"The thing that bothers me about it is we have yet to deal with the biggest problem that is facing this country, which is the size of the deficit, and nobody is doing anything about it," the former Vermont Governor added later. "It is easy to promise everybody tax cuts all the time. You have got to make some cuts if you are going to do that."
