GOP's Sickening Display of Ignorance and Arrogance

This country is being hijacked by a conservative group that has no idea what is meant by compromise, and has no respect for the foundation of this country.  How can anyone ignore the fact that 1/4 of our year to year deficit is a result of the Bush tax Cuts.  Taxes are lower than they have been in 60yrs in this country - times are tough - to take raising taxes or at least keep them where they are and closing loopholes is to be deaf dumb and blind.  The democrats have shown much effort to compromise.  The fact is Congress has the following powers
1. To lay and collect taxes
2. To borrow money from credit of usa
3. To regulate commerce with foreing nation
4. To stablish a uniform of naturization
5. To declare war
6. To punish felonies of the high seas
7. To promote the progress of useful arts
8. To make rules and regulations
9. To support post office and post roads
10. To support militia
11. To dicipline army militia
12. To support army
13. To maintain a navy
14. The elastic clause
15. To coin money

The fact that anyone would hold Obama responsible for not raising the debt ceiling shows their ignorance on with regards to the powers of congress and the fact is Republicans always find a reason why taxes should not be raised.  Now - recession, before loss in economic momentum - all horse shit and weak.  Dems have the responsibility to clean up government efficiency and republicans have the responsibility to be realistic when holding onto ideology.
