Like I said, liberals have a difficult time comprehending simple speak.
I did not say the Republicans or Tea Party people had any victory, unlike moron Cruz. So, I am not "parroting" anyone. I said, Cruz and those who first suggested that Barry come to the table and negotiate things, including the ACA, that will ADD to the national debt, should have shut down ALL the federal gov't. They did not do that. They began from a position of weakness, rather than strength. If they truly believed that a little pain now would prevent major pain later, then they should have had the guts to SHUT IT ALL DOWN, rather than playing the political games of offering up opening up certain parts that they hoped the American people would see as being "compassionate" or "intelligent." This simply gave Barry leverage. By the time they were nearing the end of a losing battle, most of the gov't was still running.
Call it what you will, because we simply disagree. I believe this "cut the deficit" BS is simply that. When you are drowning in debt, you don't simply slow the amount of ADDITIONAL debt. You STOP spending more than you take in, plain and simple. IF the Republicans were serious, they should halt the federal gov't until a completely balanced budget is presented based on current income levels from current taxation. Simple. Easy. Would get results after about 2 weeks of NO federal gov't spending.
You call it insane, stupid, irrational. I call following the same debt path off the cliff and screwing our children and grandchildren the same and worse. You and DC think only about themselves and the current problems this would cause. I consider the future of those who come after and prefer not to have them curse this generation as selfish, spineless SOB's.
If your grandchild, or that of a DC insider, were in a room with you, and a lunatic came in and said he was going to take a life, and it was your/their choice who, I feel sorry for the younger generation.
