Simpson Bowles was the raw financial truth. Both sides ran from it. Each blamed the other. Sad but true.
Yes, quite sad to see how transparent the two sides of the same coin are. They rigged the two party system, and rather than working together for the good of the people, they collude for thier own enrichment. It's all an act and has been for twenty years.
Tragic to see it falling apart right before our eyes.

Democrats ignored reality all together. Republicans rejected reality and tried to substitute their own.
Back in the real world, the Simpson-Bowles committee - which republicans began opposing immediately after Obama agreed to it, despite many of them having co-sponsored it beforehand - could not come to an agreement, and so could not make any recommendation, although they did release a draft that they ultimately rejected. Instead, congress agreed to an across the board 10% cut to all discretionary spending, unless their own comittee could come to an agreement, which they could not.
Please show me where Obama supported the Simpson-Bowles committee findings.
Simpson-Bowles committee never agreed on any resolutions. They wanted to balance the budget using S.S.I. money and then during yearly budget negotiations our balls less president,even before the fight started put S.S.I on the table. Now it's election time and of course the demos are running trying to hide the fact that the last budget they passed was a REthug budget which they did not have the votes to pass.
Well the Shakowski has long been a favorite name for my morning "movement" along with the Holder, Schumer, Feinstein and Boxer, The Durbin, and of course THE OBAMA and The Biden, gonna have to go for the Nadler and the Honda this morning!!!
