Fifty-Nine Republicans stood up for what they believed in opposing the mock bill that would "cut" some 38 billion from the deficit. Whatever real number that is...either it be the 300 million and change as the Congressional Budget Office calls it, or the spin amounts coming from the White House and GOP leadership, whatever the number, it isn't enough. Not close to enough to solve or even dent our problem.
This is the facade to hide the truth, the bait-and-switch to distract us, to annoy us with numbers and boring concessions. We are suppose to slump meeking away, satisfied that something was done. But nothing was done here, short of rediculous politicking. 59 Republicans stood up for what was right, for what must be done - to face the hard facts, hard reality, and to begin the work towards a real solution. But they failed.
The rest of Washington were content to live in a dream world.
