"With dug-in heels, Obama negotiates"

This is ALWAYS the first sign that Obama is going to cave in and hand repuppetcans EVERYTHING they demand. Obama is NOT a democrat.

Ok, these guys say us poor tax payers need to cut this and cut that! Well we have spent 2.5 trillion on false flag wars! That is enough to give every family in America $60,000.00. We are in dept at 16 trillion that is $360,000.00 for every family in America! So who is blowing smoke? Every last one of those thieves are Dems, Repugs! Why do you think their is only a hundred or so people commenting on the mainstream media sites? People in America most of them anyway have caught on to the hollywood acting that these politicians are doing! They have seriously under estimated the American GOYIM! They are all bought and payed for!

Archemedes doesn't have to back it with precious metals anymore since '74. Go print a few more bushel baskets full-- as much as you want-- it grows on trees...

Scott Pelley,
Please devote some time outlining why the PResident insist on an expansion of executive power by demanding permanent authority to raise the debt ceiling. This should outrage every American.

Another poster aid something like: JFK cut taxes and we had a booming economy, Reagan and Bush did the same and we had a booming economy, cutting taxes brings job growth.

The national debt increased only slightly and taxes remained above 90% until JFK's death. (Could that be a clue as to why he was assassinated?)

Reagan reduced the top tax rate from 70% to 48% (at one point), while TRIPLING THE NATIONAL DEBT.

Bush Jr. (for the first time in history) further reduced the debt during time of war, while DOUBLING THE NATIONAL DEBT.

BTW, Reagan was an actor playing the roll of president and the script was written by the same top 2% who now own all three branches of the government. Regulations that kept this country strong and the manufacturing base the greatest in the world were eliminated.

Bonner: "I'll get you a private bank account with $10 million in one of our quiet banks?"
O: "Nope"
Bonner:" I can offer you an $20 million estate in Texas?"
O: "Nope"
Bonner: "How about one of our secure islands?"
O: "Nope"
Bonner: "Then what do you want?"
O: "Tax increases for the rich."
Bonner: "Nope"

"Dug in heels"? Obama hasn't taken a stand or dug his heels in on any issue so far. If, and that's a big "If", there is any tax increase or roll back to an earlier tax rate on the wealthy I predict it will be miniscule; barely noticeable.

The republican are destroying what is left of their shatter party. If they fail to make a deal, they will take the brunt of it in the mid-term elections.

So help me God, Republicans need to stop being obstructionist, pay their fair share of taxes (or more to get this country straight), and realize that this country's make up has now and forever changed. No more rich, white, privileged, jerks in control. If the country "goes over the cliff" people will know exactly who to blame and who doesn't give two flying figs for the 95% of the rest of us in the next election as well. Get down to serious negotiating; you've put off getting this country fixed for too long.

The "Federal Reserve System" is a sham. Money in itself is not tangible and any attempt to make it so, is a failure at the onset. The "Wealthy" are not truly rich, but have been infused with fiat money to keep the sham going. Raising taxes on the rich will slow the need to print more paper money, but will only prolong the inevitable collapse of the system; while the National Debt continues to climb. History has proved this over and over.
