"We are governed by liars"

Hey, wait a minute -- I didn't say it: I was quoting James Cook, CEO of a precious metals firm. He says that  notion that  the political parties will  pull off a compromise to reduce spending proves you can't believe anything coming from Washington.

I agree; what Obama is proposing, when he takes time between golf swings, is to increase spending and get the nation deeper in debt.  He wants the nation to fall off the fiscal cliff; this will help him do to us and our country the worst that socialism can do.  He knows that no matter what happens, the Republicans will be blamed.
