To Hell with the Grand Bargain
It is clear that the Republicans have dug in their heels and have intention of breaking the Washington Gridlock . Therefore we Progressives have got to support President Obama and the Democrats in Congress in standing up to the bullies on the other side of the aisle.
I know I keep talking about the 2012 election in my posts but it's important that we who voted to re-elect President Obama keep making noise everywhere to let the Republicans know that they can't just ignore that election and continue to shove the policies that we voted against down our throats.
I'm not saying that there is no room to reform Social Security and Medicare but if Republicans say all revenue is off the table then why would Progressives let them balance the budget on the backs of the poor and the elderly while the rich get richer.
If that is how the GOP wants to roll then let them roll on home for good after the 2014 elections. We have to get ready and power up our organizations send these Republicans who don't respect the will of the people home. Therefore I say to Hell with the Grand Bargain for now. We can't let the Republicans tell us it's their way or the highway.
