Michael Medved: Excuse me, Michael, but what part of the "fiscal cliff deal" is sane? There are NO reductions in spending, MASSIVE tax increases, and the net result is an ADDITIONAL $4 TRILLION IN DEBT!!! This "deal" is clearly an attack on America aimed at destroying our wealth, our defense, our currency, our economy and our means to make a living. It is every bit as destructive as a cluster of nuclear bombs aimed at all of our major cities at once. We know that you and the rest of the Obama Excuserati will never get your heads out of your a$$es far enough to notice, but facts are facts.

If the president really did nurse a deep-seated desire to ruin the free enterprise system (and the Republican Party along with it), he just missed his golden opportunity. …

The debt is going to do that, not tax rates when we're talking about +/- 5% or so. The deal is much worse for the debt than the cliff. So, what he did is entirely consistent with a plan to ruin the free enterprise system. Not that I'm saying that is his desire - the deal just isn't proof of the opposite.

I won’t bother to read the column, but I was wondering if Medved managed to squeeze in a sentence or two about how “elegant” Obama is. He was doing that regularly after the ’08 election, and that’s why I won’t bother to read him now.

Oh, RLY? I missed what part of that deal addresses the debt problem. The Count on January 4, 2013 at 8:41 AM

Exactly. He's using spending and the consequential debt to bring down the economy. It's hardly a new idea. Here's a 1934 cartoon outlining the process.

I am under the impression that Obama’s eye is on the mid-terms. He wasn’t about to screw his chances of a clean sweep for his final two years.

Obama has plenty of time. He’s not even sworn into his 2nd term yet. Wait and see what he does.
