Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Gang of Six Budget Plan, try to keep it civil

One of the most interesting things about politics is how each side in a two-party system can be so convinced it is right and that the other side is just so totally wrong, misguided, and even dangerous. More on that in a minute.

I try not to cheerlead too much in politics, because I realize that a lot of it is disingenuous BS. I have to step back once in a while and take a breath so I don't get too wrapped up in it. It can be infuriating. I don't know how some people do it. Their tolerance for BS is higher than mine, I guess.

That said, this Robert Reich column from 7-17-2011 rang true to me.

Even more so, this Paul Krugman column from 7-14-2011 has some really spot-on perspective, I think.
