Both the Republicans and the Democrats have made promises to their bases. The Republicans have made promises to the Military not to cut defense and leave the nation vulnerable. Obama has made promises to those who elected him not to cut healthcare. As a result, the likehood we will go over the fiscal cliff at this point is somewhere between 60 to 70% I would say at this point. No matter how you look at it this will likely be a disaster for both healthcare and military funding anyway you slice it. There are no good decisions only necessary ones.
The reality is: "You either tell everyone to go die that has a healthcare need or to tell the military they can't have enough money to protect us."
Either way it is unacceptable to the base of one party or another. I'm thinking we are going over the cliff because no one can afford to budge and face a re-election. This appears to be a fact of life now.
I think after we go over the fiscal cliff that healthcare will likely be protected because that is where the votes are the strongest in this nation. So, maybe this is the Obama strategy to protect healthcare we must go over the fiscal cliff to prevent rioting in the streets if healthcare goes away.
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
