Sounds like a plan to me.

Wouldn’t it be great to have a tough GOP? Just a thought.
To: upchuck
It’s not a plan unless they are willing to let the government shut down to get what they want. Are they?

"I think it should be a firm principle that we should not raise the debt ceiling until we have a plan on how the new borrowed less money will be spent," Sessions told me Monday in a phone conversation from his home in Alabama. Close, Mr. Sessions.

Is the debt limit a more effective weapon to use than just refusing to pass the CRs that O demands?
With the CR if Reid rejects the House CR the government shuts down, obviously O blames Rs and finger pointing .game plays out
With the debt limit its unclear how it plays out. Treasury decides what to fund?
I have heard it suggested that he could cut off funding to industries in Red states like inspections of poultry, shutting those down.

Someone needs to ask Byron York if he’s Serious.I see nothing that the cowardly Republican’s are going to do to force Harry Ried into doing anything.
This has not been their history as of the last two year with John Boener leading the House.So I’d say its very unlikely.Not that I wouldn’t like to see Ried and the demrat s eat crow.I would and I’d enjoy it.

RE “

I propsed an idea like this. Connect the debt limit with the actual spending bills.
I think budgets (spending) can be passed with 51 Senate votes so Os excuse on that doesnt not hold water.

The GOP will “force” the Republican Party to accede to whatever it is that Reid and the kenyan desire after a respectable period of whining. The Republicans are in a “please eat us last” scenario.

Byron York: GOP may use debt ceiling to force Harry Reid to pass budget Yeah, because that constitutional requirement thingy hasn't compelled the vile POS to pass a budget in the last four years, has it Byron? Gee, I wonder if you and the rest of the communist-loving POS scumbags in the MSM would let Republicans get away with forgoing their responsibility to pass an annual budget? /s

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Stop talking and ACT. Do something. With the GOP, they are always going to take a stand and win the next battle after the Dems roll over them time and time again.

The GOP couldn’t even force a fart... Are you kidding me? Impotent, bloated GOP... Evidence? Boehner is still the captain of the stinking ship.

Harry Reid has no reason or motivation whatsoever to give ANYTHING to the GOP. Heck, the GOP has no reason to do anything conservative.

Budget?!? We don' need no stinkin' budget, ya bunch a amateurs. We spend just fine without a budget.
The first term was just practice, but now that we're serious in the second term, we're going to spend, spend, spend!!! We're going to borrow, borrow, borrow and print, print, print mo' money!
How's that for a budget? We're so good at budgeting, we're budgeting our great grandkids' money so they won't have any to worry about! Who's the greatest generation now?

Expect the same result for the Debt Ceiling and the March CR that you saw last week on the TAX INCREASE.
The GOP no longer can brand itself as anything different than RATlite.

Oh please, Byron. Republicans will do NOTHING which requires any semblance of courage or tenacity. They would MUCH prefer to knuckle under. That way the media will attack them in a “friendlier,” less destructive way!
“Out of sight, out of mind!” It’s the new motto of the GOP!
