The collapsing US military & economic empire is making Washington & NATO even more dangerous. US could not beat the Taliban but thinks it can take on China-Russia-Iran...a sign of psychopathology for sure. We must all do more to help stop this western corporate arrogance that puts the future generations lives in despair. @BruceKGagnon

A BAD DEAL IN WASHINGTON



Looks like Obama and the Democratic Party leadership have agreed to a deal with the Republicans to cut Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and leave the rich alone. No tax increases for the fat cats at the top. No "shared sacrafice".

The deal does not even allow temporary tax cuts on the rich to expire. Nor does it defund any wars. Yet it requires cuts of $1.2 trillion now and $2.5 trillion over a decade.

Once again the magician sells out his "base". He talks nice but always, always, always, moves to the right and plays with ball with those who are out to destroy social progress.

If you happen to be one of those who still support Obama, please tell me why?
