The World (America) Is Upside-Down, Part 2

The budget rhetoric drones on and on and on…
Claiming they had not passed a budget in four years because of fiscal policy disputes with House Republicans, just before 5am this past Saturday, as expected, ‘Prince Harry,’ and his mostly party line crew of miscreants in the Senate, approved by a vote of 50 to 49, the Democrats non-binding blueprint plan for the 2014… Read more »
A Stark Choice for America’s Budget
For the first time in four years, the U.S. Congress is engaged in a full-throated budget debate.
