‘Cliff’ deal a bad one for the country

Typical liberal responses to any problem. Tax everyone higher; spend even more; raise debt ceiling to ensure they can keep spending us into more debt and they never cut wasteful spending no matter what. Obama stayed true to his tax and spend radical liberalism.

And Rockefeller applauds this do nothing bill as the answer to all problems. Isn't it past time to vote him out of office? I suppose he's happy that hard working WV citizens trying to make ends meet and feed their families will now take home LESS in their paychecks??? Nice going liberals. If dems are for the people.......who needs enemies?

Congress was never worried about the "Fiscal Cliff" anyway. They handled it like they handle every so-called crisis. Wait until the eleventh hour, feed the people a bunch of hype over the impending disaster that awaits them, and shove through a bunch of useless legislation that does nothing to fix the problem. We've seen this before, government will shut down if we don't reach an agreement, social security will collapse if we don't do something right now, Medicare will go broke, and the list goes on and on. The politicians in Washington have become masters at pulling the people's chain.

All they have to mention a disaster of their own creation, point out that we are bleeding to death because of it, and then stick a band aid on a gaping wound that will still drain the life out of us. Politicians fix nothing. All they do is create the illusion of a solution to a problem they created. How long have they harped about Social Security? Are we any closer to a solution? Think about

It's the same every time. Congress gets their head together, pass legislation that does nothing to curb their bad habits, and the working stiff pay for it. Personally, I believe America would have been better off if we had gone of the "fiscal cliff", allowing the economy to tank. Then we could have began over with a new congress and start the process of rebuilding this country like we did after the Great Depression.

Just in case you didn't notice, right after the deal congress cut. cutting deep in the American worker's pocketbook, Obama started his crap again wanting the debt ceiling raised. The only ones who lost are the same people that always take a hit, the working stiff. The only way we can fix this problem is to hit rock bottom and start over, and that includes starting with a new congress.
