Who Are the Winners.....You Ask?

Who are the winners in the compromise that averted the government shutdown by forcing the U.S. to continue to borrow $4 billion per day? This is the ridiculous question being posed by every media outlet in America. In just two years President Obama raised spending beyond the level anyone could have possibly imagined. So satisfied with how much he has jacked up the amount of money flowing through Washington the president was willing to stand pat in the budget poker game this week. When Obama finally offered to put what amounts to a penny down in the middle of the negotiating table to close the deal, he called what he reluctantly agreed to, “historic cuts.”

Harry Reid used a different method to con the public. He decided to use “women’s health care” as cover for his support of borrowing recklessness this week. It looks like these manipulations worked and worked well. After House Speaker John Boehner shrugged and said that delaying a few days of billion dollar borrowing was the best he could get from Democrats in charge of the Senate and the White House, he went back into his negotiating cave to try to figure out how he could create the leverage he had just traded away.
John Boehner
What are those of us who can still run a financial calculator to think now? Our government in addition to spending every nickel it takes from our paychecks is borrowing more than $2,000 every month for each and every taxpaying couple in America. It is obvious Obama created his "Debt Commission" as a delay tactic. On deck is another debate. It will be over the only budgetary proposal that will actually put an end to the insanity, Congressman Paul Ryan’s ideas aptly named the “Path to Prosperity.” What can we expect? Look for more lies and extortion efforts to be packaged and peddled as "compassion" in the days, weeks, and months ahead.
The Winner
Who is the real winner in this deal? The answer is easy. The winners are America’s enemies who must be laughing as they build their arsenals and watch the increasingly hapless leaders in this country remain slovenly, undisciplined, and in complete denial about borrowing.
