hold presses blaming republicans for acting childish. and point nine: you cannot say spending is not a problem and then say you worry about whether you can send out 80 million checks to people getting paid to the government only a small portion of social security and medicare. that is a lot of checks. a lot of government. a lot of the problem. and be clear point ten, mr. president, this is for you: you cannot say the other side has brought us to the bring on this budget when your side did not offer a budget. not this year. not last year. and not the year before last year. so, that my friends is where we stand. sorry to go on and on but that is where we stand. that is the real deal. of government deep in debt. two sides trying to fight it out. both sides playing politics. nothing unusual is holding the process hostage. business as urge is what is holding this process hostage.
