It is a bi-partisian committee, yet it is the democrats fault for not slashing entitlements. What entitilements are those you say. Yes, the republicans want to take the money from everyone in social security taxes, and then fail to pay them social security, those entitlements.

Why is it not at least equally the republicans not will to put the nation first and agree to a balanced approach of cutting spending and taxing at rates that would be higher, but still well below historical averages?

So let's look at what the american people say, and they say they want the balanced democratic approach. They want to raise some taxes and not destroy social security.

But the right wingers on here say, screw what the american people want, screw compromise. That is putting america first, I don't think so.

You do know that congress controls spending, not the President. And the congress is republicans and the republican congress would be responsible for two credit downgrades, not Obama

The republican congress, the only congress to get two credit downgrades in a single term.

The House is controlled by Republicans. The Senate is still under a Democratic deathgrip.
