Quote"The media in their attempt to sell newspapers and program time sensationalize the basic issues." My comment.The above is what I think is the major problem in the world today. "Remember that we have to borrow forty-three cents out of every dollar that we use to pay for our expenses. To put it succinctly, 50% of our population pays no taxes. The revenues to pay our national debts are coming off of the hides of the middle class, the wage earners and the small businesses. It is somewhat peculiar that the basic truths for our survival are not mentioned. Do not be diverted by the ambient noise that tends to complicate the issue. We have been sidetracked by irrelevant issues; we are spending ourselves into a financial quagmire. This is hurting the hard-working middle class who are dealing with a deteriorating US dollar (PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish (UUP)) and simultaneously carrying the load of increased tax burdens. " "While the Republicans and the Democrats are separated by only several billions, the underlying issues are ignored. This may be because we are witnessing political theater in a dress rehearsal for the 2012 election. The actual battlefields on which both sides face one another are not only fiscal, but ideological as the debate raged over Planned Parenthood funding.
