Would you agree that both the Democrats and the Republicans are to blame for the budget crisis?

To some gegree yea they both share in the blame. One for compromising too much, the other for not at all.

No, just the Republicans. Repubs supported Bush's tax cuts and spending but all of a sudden discovered that Clinton's surpluses had disappeared when Obama became president and that the deficits were huge. Repubs are hypocrites.

Repubs are pushing the nation to the edge of the cliff to protect the very rich. It is not defensible.

Sure would both are more interested in posture than what is good for the country.But yet the voters keep sending the same do nothing people election after election.

No i would not. While we were no doubt in a mess. Obama made it MUCH worse.

Actually. I have to agree with your first poster now that I think about it.

I give both the blame. But the larger blame goes to liberals.

Actually we have have to decide what is the mandate given by the system and to whom?

Senate, congress or president?

OK

Yeah! Now we got to listen to the ******* whine about how bad things are gonna be for everyone but them!

Anybody who doesn't agree with that knows absolutely nothing about politics and probably listens to Rush Limbaugh.

It depends on which side you're on.

Either way, taxes are going up and have to.

Either you make the ones that can't afford it or you don't.

Yes.

But conservatives and libertarians aren't.

The deficits and debts were not created by conservative or libertarian fiscal policies, but by profligate liberal or statist policies.

it's the American voters. keep voting the same congress members in year after year...

so yes, its both and independents, commies, socialist, and you reading this
