The Ugly Reality

While the mass media focuses on our national telenovela in Washington by kicking off the 2012 Presidential campaigns, the Fiscal Commission Co-Chairs released a proposal to address our nation's government spending woes.

My initial reaction is to view this with suspicion. I don't like the sound of a lot of things in that document, but they do seem to make sense.

However, the extremes on the right and the left seem to hate it, and are furiously agitating their followers to hate it, for entirely contradictory reasons.

Which only adds to this report's credibility, in my eyes.
