From Morning Joe this morning: "President Obama has yet to do anything about the deficit" (while, in the same breath, acknowledging that President Obama has implemented changes that saving $700 billion from Medicare).

(8,124 posts)Deficit reduction and austerity are exactly the WRONG medicine at this time... and is actually making the country sicker.
They need to step on the gas... not the brakes.. to increase employment and tax revenues. When people are working.. they are paying taxes.

But alas... Morning Joe and the rest of MSM are brain dead and incapable of any real reporting.

BE LEGISLATORS AND REPRESENT THEIR CONSTITUENTS ... just can't do their jobs because this President won't have them over for tea and crumpets. They get to run around saying their primary objective is to make him a one term president, and yell "YOU LIE" during the SOTU address, ect. ... But, it is all his fault.
