I don't think progressives understand the term; "We have no more money."
I'll use a language they understand: No mas denero.

Don't cut my program bro.

And what have the Republicans done to address the problem? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. They kicked and screamed and threatened to shut down the government over 1.59% of the entire budget. 1.59% isn't about solving our deficit problems. It's about using the deficit as an excuse to cut programs that the GOP views as politically distasteful.

Anyone that believes any of this was about the budget and fiscal austerity is a rube.

You're right, we don't have any more money, the GOP gave it all to corporations through tax shelters and loopholes.

When less than 5% hold over 50% of all wealth, compared to 60% of us holding it in the 70's, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see were creating a two class system via the corporate takeover of America.

It seems this nation is headed in one of two directions, corporate control or big government with social programs. The problem is one creates the other. The richer the corporations get, the poorer the mass population becomes. This creates a social and economic problem that many Dems. want to fix, face it, they believe in helping others even if it is with someone elses money, the GOP want to help the rich get richer so they can stay in office and force idealology down our throats.

It's laughable to say the GOP believes in smaller government. Anytime they had power, government and the budget increased.

And thus

Deadlock.

Last I checked the GoP or the rich do not tell me who to vote for.

...they believe in helping others even if it is with someone elses money...

Way too general a statement. The Dems believe in helping their political supporters by stealing everyone elses hard earned money even if it causes the nation to collapse financially.
