Estimated revenues for this year are over $2.9 TRILLION - the highest in the history of our country!

0bama has already spent well over $14 TRILLION and is on target to spend over $31 TRILLION during his 8 years in office...

...and 0bama still wants more?

HE MUST BE STOPPED!

from destroying our country.

Boehner says unwilling to talk about raising U.S. revenues TAXES!

Guess what...we live in a world of anything can happen, And when I check the commentary on FR, I see your post, and there is NO /sarc at the end to denote same. If your comment is intended as sarcasm/humor, mark it as such.

[itssme]

See my post #63.

See my post #63. When a person sometimes reads the comments on FR on the fly, and they don’t have time to discern whether a comment is fact or fiction...if your comment was meant as sarcasm/humor, mark it as such.

If we were to freeze spending at current levels the CBO would score that as a $900 Billion cut. Now I ask you. Is that so hard?

[right way right]

Hey Boner!
How about lowering the RATE OF GROWTH %100
across the board!!!

Thats what I have had to do!!!!

[right way right]

The Idiot even uses their language.

You mean you took, “pay for Nasralla’s cancer treatment” seriously?

How is John against raising revenue? Is the AP lying again?

Rasing taxes does not raise revenue, in fact evidence suggest it drops revenue.

Lowering taxes allowed efferent economic investment and growth thus actually rasing revenue.

Yet the AP gets away with telling an outright lie. A lie that oddly enough comes directly from the mouth of Obama... I wonder where the AP got their lie....

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

AP = assholiated press

“Good for him! Fer Pete’s sake, folks, I know you all hate him, but when he’s right, he’s right.

I think Boehner has been weak because, like Pope BXVI, he expected his underlings and his opponents to do the right thing and be ethical. BXVI learned that they don’t do this - and is dying with a broken heart. But maybe Boehner has learned something from his experience.”

Lets hope so, standing up to Obama and letting the reduction in spending increasing go thou, was a good Start.

If John Keeps this up by the end of the year he might just make a decent House leader. The only way we can possibly expose democrat lies is by calling their bluff. The media will never report the truth therefore we must show in result that truth is an utter contraction with their words.

Let them be reviled as the hyped up fools.

[PaleoBob]

Why are we using the word “revenue” and why is Boner using it? It’s taxes, taxes, taxes.

[onyx]

Boehner has become a sad joke, so the last thing he should do is use their words.

Guess what, NasrallaH is not a household name. If anyone reading posts has to take the time to google what you've written to determine what you're talking about, you can apply the FR rule of marking your posts /sarc or humor, and save us the time. And when someone asks a question about a post, simply answer it. Don't take offense because we don't know what you're talking about, or if it IS factual, or sarcasm or humor.

[EQAndyBuzz]

I didn’t take offense at all. It was meant to be humorous and it was my assumption, perhaps incorrectly that people, especially on FR would know who Nasrallah is.

If you didn’t know who Nasrallah is, now you do. So in fact you learned about someone who plays a big role in Mideast politics. You are welcome.

How can spending possibly be a problem. The Fed will just print more money./sarc

[ssschev]

You beat me to it. It is not REVENUE, it is TAXES.
Revenue is earned
Taxes are Gov’t fees on your Revenue.

[frogjerk]

Exactly. Revenue is raised/created by people and companies engaging in economic activity, production or a service that others purchase.

The Government produces nothing but misery.

[itssme]

If a question is asked of you, simply answer it without your need to lecture others. It’s as easy as that, and you are welcome.
