Wisconsin labor conflict (Kebir Blue)

I have to decide if I think you're actually being sincere or not.

If you really have to think about that bubble-bob, that says enough.

As an outsider looking in, I must say that the US is in bad shape right now.
I think the thing which is dragging you guys down is effeciency.
Here in Australia, we have a democratic system, but after a good three months of debating an issue (lets say a carbon tax of some sort!) the bill is either passed or vetoed. Then the implimentation of these policies/infastructure works is done quickly so that no time is lost (for those interested in witnessing one of the largest infastructure projects in human history, google National Broadband Network.).
Again, America's problem is that everyone is so self-important (no offence-most of you guys are nice people) that they believe that its either their way or the no way. Trying to pass a bill to raise the debt ceiling shouldn't take months, nor should there be so much debate over the little details. In the end, if this bill isnt passed, we all lose. Have any politicians t

To be honest, I think that our system is majorly fucked up. Personal agendas designed to get more money and more power are all the politicians care about. We give tax breaks to the rich and handouts to the corporations (cough cough AIG cough Halliburton cough), and because of that we don't have enough money for anything that we need. I believe that the U.S. is being burned to the ground by the politicians and the corporations and the rich. We should take them out of power, get a halfway decent government, were we can still choose who we want in power but they can only use a certain amount of money on advertising or something like that, make elections more balanced.

Bush tax cuts = 3.7T over 10 years.

Moody's estimation of what US needs to cut = 4T over 10 years.

Why is this so hard?

Because we're dealing with politicans here. They all have their own agendas, rather than doing whats best for their country.
Happens here too.

That was an... interesting link.
