Thema: Re: Obama's failure?

> Seems regardless of whatever blame games everyone wants to play, FORCED cuts in spending are VITAL.

There is no other choice left. The USA will be forced to go into austerity measures like Greek and Portugal have done. The spending cuts that have been pushed through due to Republican pressure are not enough, and the tax cuts are simply adding wood to the fire.

Obama wants to leave Afghanistan because the USA has no choice. The cost of the war is too great. That lesson was learned during the Vietnam era. The US withdrew when the OPEC crisis caused a big spike in interest rates and the American government had no choice but to cut spending and leave the war.

The only thing that I dislike is how Republicans are bullying Obama when they started the mess in the first place.
