As a person who leans Libertarian this whole situation is why I feel like we are Fuct.
Vote for "America Party, or Ross P, the Tea Party, or Libertarian party or any other party that isn't R" and you are not only throwing your vote away you are de facto casting a vote for D.
So you "do the right thing" and cast your vote for R...... because they represent most of your views..... and then every few years its another debt ceiling catastrophe.
My economics background tells me we probably cant go zero deficit without huge negative impacts but I sure as shit didn't sign up for this Bill in entirey.
At this point if the option is voting for R and getting betrayed is it maybe better and vote D because at least you get the benefit of the social security blanket. I habe never thought in these terms before but the results are driving me in that direction.
