Do you have a copy of that plan that you say Obama was endorsing. To my knowledge Obama never laid out any plan, nor did the Dem's. In fact the only plan Obama submitted was to raise the debt limit with no strings attached. Just give me all the money I want.

Obama has never been for "Just give me all the money I want", in fact the Gang of 6 plan he backed would have seen $4 trillion or more in savings while the plan they've agreed to is closer to $3 trillion now.

The progressive caucus released their plan months ago, and that one remains the best deal around, with trillions being trimmed here and there but with at least equal parts revenue coming in from the closing of tax loopholes for major corporations and the wealthiest Americans.

The plan that's going to go through at this point basically asks middle class people to pay for everything, which makes hardly any sense whatsoever when there is a whole class of people in America who should be effected by this deal as well but who are not.

So why is the middle class taking it up the ass while the wealthiest Americans get off scott-free? Hasn't the middle class suffered enough in recent years with record job losses and wage stagnation and having to bail out the big banks and the auto industry?

Where the fuck is the people's bailout? The top is only doing better today because of what the middle was asked to do 3 years ago, and now it's only fair that the favor is returned, but alas, the apparent "job creators" are exempt from any kind of sacrifice or patriotic duty to their country, and that's wrong.
