Alternative energy, hey great, is it happening? Do you see it happening? Do you think the Republicans will be amenable and cooperative? Are you f-ing kidding me, these people are authoritarians? Exactly how is the government going to create jobs, hello, they will be cutting jobs. American exceptionalism? Isn't this possibly a root core problem. Cutting military spending? Wait a minute now, we can't be weak on defense now can we. Obama is going to maintain SSI, yet he just signed into defunding it.
We live in a capitalist plutocracy with democratic trimmings around the edges. Corporations call the shots. The military is the helping hand of corporations. We are out there on our own, we get the scraps. The government works for the corporations.
CS Monitor: Obama's State of the Union long on US greatness, short on austerity
In the spotlight of national attention that goes along with the State of the Union, it may have been the smart political move, for both parties, not to go into the specifics of cuts, analysts say.
“There’s no political profit in getting too detailed, because the picture is so grim.”
Obama twinned his touting of the repeal of the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy with a call for all US college campuses to “open their doors” to military recruiters and ROTC. And he repeated his openness to medical malpractice reform, a proposal popular among Republicans, as he drew a bright line in the sand rejecting repeal of his signature achievement to date, sweeping health-care reform.
