Even though I feel I'm among some of the people he's criticizing for writing about "what's possible" given the political and economic (i.e. the right has the big money, etc.) situations, my friend Richard (RJ) Eskow has contributed a post to Huffington Post about the "budget deal" that's so crisp and accurate, reading it made me think, at last, someone has said it the way I'm saying it in my mind (but not necessarily as well when I type up what's in there).
Anyway, check it out here, and read it all the way through, just to enjoy the clarity and logic of it.

K is almost as silly as Krugman with his many condemnations of Tea Party folks and Conservatives. The Koch Brothers political donations was dwarfed by Soros and Unions.
We had and election and Obamanomics and Obamacare was soundly rejected. Polls and elections show majorities want fiscal sanity. Liberals like K who are unconcerned with the well being and survival of American Constitutional government, wish to see entitlements expanded,free enterprise ended and the masses governed by a supposed intelletual elite. Thank God that is not going to happen. Obama/Pelosi/Reid and Obamanomics are now know to Americans.
Okay Jim, I'm going to address you directly for the first time in a long while to say you're 86'd from the blog. To accuse those who don't hew to your rightwing ideology as being "unconcerned with the well being and survival of American Constitutional government" is not just dumb it's arrogantly dumb, thinking that no one else can love this country and stand up for this democracy and Constitutional government because they don't agree with your rightwing interpretation of what that means makes me so sick just the thought of you brings bile to my throat, you pompous overblown hater of all that I and many like me were willing to put our lives on the line for in the service of our country and in the service of justice and just causes and to try and stop the takeover of our beloved country by phony patriots who haven't got a clue what it means to be "American" only what it means to be a rightwing ideologue who finds commies and socialists and Kenyans and Muslims and all kids of scary folk under his bed but has to react like a third grader when liberals actually get to enact the policies they were elected to enact when they are elected under our Constitutional democracy (you started in on Obama the day after his election before he even was sworn in and once he was sworn in your rightwing diatribes parroting your rightwing media masters were elentless). All the exit polls show that a majority of those who voted for the rightwingers that have taken over Congress agree with liberals that Medicare and Social Security should not be cut and that the wealthy should pay more taxes and that the oil corporations and banks should too and be held accountable and that their main concern is for jobs, all of which many liberals have worked tirelessly to make happen but keep being sabotaged and undermined with lies about "death panels" and hatred of "America" and conspiracies to take our liberties away (this after Bush/Cheney!) and all the crap you've been spewing on this blog for years now. Get off. Go home to your obviously much more intelligent and reasonable wife and trade this offensive and lying nonsense with your tea party friends or fellow rightwing whatevers and leave those of us who believe in our Constitution and do our utmost to defend it from "your ilk" to discuss and have reasonable arguments about how we do that and who among us is doing it well or not.
Sorry folks, a little tired tonight. Obviously I meant "relentless" up there, I'm hittin' the sack and if he's back tomorrow, it's all deletion all the time. Enough is sometimes enough.
Well done and well said Dad. I stopped reading the troll after my foolish engagement with him recently. I think what you say above states your case perfectly.
Thanks Miles, your comment means so much to me.
