The Three CRs would then total $31-$32 Billion in cuts?

If Boehner has the pair to walk in to today's meeting, drop this on the usurper's desk and say "We've taken care of Defense" sign this or shut the Government. Next week we are sending you the other $31 Billion in cuts from HR1.

You and the Senate can deal with that or shut the government.

Have a good day, and walk out...

Then he will have done a small bit to redeem his sorry self.

There has been no spending cuts only cuts in proposed spending. Not one government entity is getting one dime less. Shell game.

We're on the same page. If these people had a brain in their head they'd be announcing a $32 billion cut with the passage of every short-term continuing resolution.

There's more than one way to skin a cat.

I have thought for awhile that the CRs are the one point of leverage the GOP has in the budget battle. Spending legislation has to originate in the House and so you make the CRs more painful than the alternative. 12B per week is much starker than the 4-6B for 2-3 weeks, so it looks like they are ratcheting up the pressure.

Great idea!

Guarantee pay for the military thru the end of the fiscal year & take away the RATs #1 talking point...

Inch toward the minuscule planned goal of 'cuts'...

And time the big shutdown for TAX-DAY 2011 !!! YEA!!!!

(also its the same day as the Atlas Shrugged movie opening)

HR 1 adds 900 billion to the debt over the next 6 months. Boehner,Cantor are on the same team as Obama.It is a charade.

That's EXACTLY what this is - choose your poison ...

Republicans cave again. Is there no one to stand up for the people? Maybe Trump should start a third party and cut out all the BS.

Boehner is just Pelosi lite. I'm disgusted!

OK Obama, now we’re really mad. If you don’t agree to cuts by the time we count three, we’re shutting down the government.

1....2....2 1/2...2 3/4...2 7/8...2 15/16....2 31/32...
