The Republican Party Can’t Say Yes - NYTimes.com

For days, the White House has infuriated its Democratic allies in Congress by offering House Republicans more and more in exchange for a deal to raise the debt ceiling and prevent default.

How did we get into this situation where we have to make a deal to pay the friggin' bills? And especially, how is it that this deal has to be made between one half and the other half of the same friggin' government? Who agreed to this situation to begin with?

And another thing.

The White House was willing to cut $1 trillion in domestic and defense spending and another $650 billion from Medicare, Medicaid and even Social Security.

Much of that savings would have come from raising the eligibility age for Medicare benefits and reducing the cost-of-living increases that elderly people depend on when receiving their health and pension benefits.

So Bunky, don't tell me it's the Republicans who want to cut Social Security and Medicare. It's the Democrats. It's Obama. And it sucks.
