This idiot Boehner first rams through a bill cutting these benefits now throws away the only leverage he has in order to restore them??
We need a new House leader and a new GOP Congress.
At this point in the game, conservatives should simply ignore Boehner. There is no point in even acknowledging him or the rest of the leadership in any way.
Boehner should return to private life and Mull over his belly button awhile. Seems all he ever does is mull over those things he should be actively pushing. And then those things that should be mulled over and discarded are pushed for passage...
Well I told everyone to calm down about the Retirees reduced COLA percent. I KNEW that it would never happen. The only thing I missed was that I didn’t think it would be potentially fixed so quickly. I wonder when FREEPERS are going to start listening to me and my wisdom....HAHA!!!!
Just out of curiosity does the plan include any offsets that will fund the restoration of the pension cuts?
I like the benefit cuts. Have you seen the what the generals do in retirement ?
I am ok with restoring the cuts to the low level soldiers but the generals live in what most of us would call luxury and most of the generals have not been seriously wounded either.
Let me get this straight ... not approving the Debt Ceiling until spending is INCREASED??
“If Boehner is unable to make a package deal work he may push through a clean debt-ceiling bill with no strings attached”
Duh! Of course he will. As Ron White would say “That boy’s gotta a lot of quit in him” :-)
The mighty Republicans. No, they’re not commies—not at all. It starts with the local-yocal Republicans and their regulations against private property and new, small business on private property at home.
