As the economic hostage crisis grinds on, to no good effect, as usual the 'little guy' will wind up paying the bill, while the Koch brothers, etc, get richer. But this is just the beginning, the clock is ticking, the US budget for 2012, aka 'The Ryan Plan', voted for by a vast majority of the Rethugs in the House, it is the starting point for 'government shutdown, round 2'. I don't know if I can take any more of this, and the Ryan Plan makes me crazy with despair, I cannot consent in any way to that much stupid cruelty and evil.
I don't know if my sanity can survive this scenario repeated again and again, over the next two years, and possibly 4 more beyond that, if anything like the current 'balance' continues. The rethugs haven't ripped the guts out of America yet, nor given all of it to the sociopatic zillionaires, but they are close, and wearing us down, breaking our lives, and spirits bit by bit. They deserve a traitors fate, and eternal infamy, not bonuses from their plutocratic enablers, and many will find out what happens to 'redundant employees' if they succeed, but by then it will be too late for us all.
