I emphasized two words in that last paragraph. I hope these leadership clowns have actually talked to the ones that voted against this last night and know before they start the voting whether the votes are there.
I am glad they did not capitulate and accept the Democrat demands to remove the spending cut offsets for the FEMA funds.
Hey, Boehner, Cantor, Ryan, et. al. How about this. The conservatives who voted against this did so because you're spending more money in September than you promised in April. Why not reduce the spending levels to the $1.019 trillion (annual number) that was passed in April. Why spend the extra $24 billion?
If the TEA Party types are "mollified" and agree to this blatantly political $100 million move, instead of the $24 billion in spending cuts they were asking for, they really deserve some serious negative feedback. That's too big a compromise, IMO.
Some fear might help.
Agreed. They should vote no until another $100B is cut. Add $50B each time they bring it up for a vote.
