Negotiate What?

We are suffering anyway. Why should we sign on the dotted line to make it official? Republicans are
arguing now to make cuts even deeper than the "sequester" our Democratic representatives hate.
When we should be negotiating on the "sequester", we are negotiating the policies the Republicans
want in order to make those same cuts deeper, more acute, and chronic...lasting virtually forever.
Then Republicans want to negotiate for only six weeks at a time on the quality of life we chose to engender in our society when we voted in the 2012 elections.
So six weeks from now, we negotiate away Social Security.
Six weeks from then, we negotiate away Medicare.
Six weeks from then, we negotiate away Food Stamps.
Six weeks from then, we negotiate away Medicaid.
Weeks from then, we negotiate away immigration reform.
Wait a bit, we have to give up health care after all.
Coast a week or so, then we relax all gun laws.
By summer, we give up all voting rights.
Before summer ends, we close the Energy Department, the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Labor Relations Board, The Occupational Health And Safety Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Department of Education.
When the Republican agenda is then near completion, what government will there be left to open?
Who will be left to vote for elected representatives, and what will those representatives do in Congress
No one will be left to vote; and representatives will be doing what they are doing now...nothing.
