[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 931605, member: 13254"] The republicans have made several serious proposals some even were passed in the house, but Reid never gave them a chance in congress. There have been more than one "negotiation" meetings where good compromises were almost reached and zer0 turns around and moves the bar. The only things the dems get serious about is trying to bleed the tax payer even more. Some of the things the repubs came up with were so far from a compromise it was ridiculous, but not every one. You're right that all politicians will "promise" things they know they can't do, from both sides. GitMo is just one of zer0bamas broken promises, another is the transparency crap. Granted there probably are some of the issues covered may involve national security, but the health care bill was not one of them and that was his main example of the new transparency. I don't believe for one second he ever even considered following through. It seems though, you forgiving on this is always for the dems and you remain silent when it is the right. And that's your choice, but then you have no place and saying anything about those of us that take up for republicans without expecting a bit of backlash. I've said many times that there needs to be serious work done by both sides in spending reduction AND in revenue increases. IMO, the defense buget needs to be gone over with a fine tooth comb to eliminate fraud, waste and redundancy. The city I live in has too many post offices, shut a coupld of them down, move people around to fill the need for more people in the remaining offices. There are lots that can be done. None may be big, but a bunch of little can be big. True job creators that hire a hand full of people don't have a lot to loose if regs change. However the businesses that might expand to another city of put in a new store in the same city are reluctant to do so because of regulatory uncertainty. Even a small change in policy could stop them in their tracks with a half built building. The health care law has discouraged many small businesses from any kind of expansion. If you don't think the health care law has been so grand for the healthcare givers check with some insiders.
