I'm looking for the dems to stand up to the bomb-throwers and not let them get away with throwing bombs in exchange for hostage demands anymore. The time for deals is during budget negotiations, not when we're about to pay the nation's bills. My point is that caving to terrorists only encourages more future terrorism. Remember that whole "we don't negotiate with terrorists" thing that this county has always been about since the 1970's? It comes into play here for the very same reason. You don't allow precedents to be set that revolve around negotiation-by-threat-of-catastrophe. That's my point.

Please stop encouraging the dems to negotiate with terrorists just because you don't want your 401k gains from the last couple of years to get wiped dude. You're setting really bad precedents by being greedy as shit about your retirement gains. Maybe think about future generations and their having to deal with more economic hostage taking because people like you are too worried about whether or not you can cash out a 401k in the next 12-18 months.

Wow, you just blew right past all the future generations that will have to deal with this shit because people like you weren't strong enough to put their foot down in 2011 or 2023. Thanks for helping set shitty precedents that will continue ad infinitum because of present softness.
