Our country is already lost. We just refuse to really admit the truth.

Federal handouts are the latest front in the war on Obama’s amnesty, and House and Senate Republicans are once again clashing over strategy.
House and Senate Republicans are once again at odds over how to fight President Obama’s executive amnesty. After Republicans in Congress caved in the battle over funding the Department of Homeland Security last month, a new disagreement in the GOP now looms on how best to prevent illegal immigrants from receiving federal benefits under the president’s executive actions.
When Representative Patrick McHenry (R., N.C.) learned that the IRS intends to pay the illegal-immigrant beneficiaries of the president’s executive actions via the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), he sprang into action. He introduced the “No Free Rides Act,” which blocks every illegal-immigrant beneficiary of the president’s executive actions from ever claiming the EITC.
“I think when the average American taxpayer knows the president, through his executive order, grants illegal immigrants up to $24,000 from the American treasury, they’ll be outraged,” McHenry says. “This is such a glaring example of the problem with the president’s executive action, when you create a new class of individuals that can utilize something that’s intended for low-income Americans . . . something that seems, on its face, so unfair to the American taxpayer.”
For now, the congressman’s staff says it has chosen to focus singularly on the EITC and not on other benefits the unlawful entrants may collect, such as the additional child tax credit or Social Security benefits due to kick in in 2017.
While his office expects that future legislation may address other problems caused by the president’s actions, McHenry’s staff says it prefers to attack the Obama administration on one issue at a time with “single rifle shots.” Perhaps unsurprisingly, Republicans in the Senate....

They debate how to surrender most completely.
I really do hate these clowns.
“DEBATE”—THIS is a debate???????????
Buncha (bleeping) pansy idiots.
After years of percolating in the chaos of what charitably could be called my mind , I think I finally penetrated why the eGOP wants to support amnesty. The kernel of news that precipitated the sudden clarity in the solution was the story about DC blacks opposed to new schools to educate New Americans (Chicanos) in Spanish. It seems when it is THEIR resources being distributed they are agin it. It hit me like lightening. The Rats have been winning elections fore decades cause blaks vote en block. The eGOP figures they can play the game with the Chicano team vs. the Rats blacks. Better demographics. Faster growth.
Machiavellian to the 3rd power. It explains why they are so eager to dump conservative values. They plan to promise more free stuff than the Rats to pander to Chicanos. Just a couple of hiccups. They don’t have the machine to absorb and enforce the Chicanos voting so it would be a coin toss whether they could actually get the Chicanos to play for their team. Another, planning to gain power by turning us against each other is the Rats game. Evil. Starting a three way race war seems as likely an outcome as any.
“Debates” my ass, kill all handouts to not only illegals but the deadbeat welfare “gimmedats” as well. How many of you get a handout like those people?
There is no debate. There is some huffing and puffing and then they give the Democrats what Senate Majority Leader Reid and House Majority Leader Pelosi want.
Damn disgusting is what it is.
Contact your house rep and tell them to vote ‘no confidence’ in boehner and your senator and vote no confidence in mcconnell. I don’t capitalize their names because they don’t deserve it.
Gotta fess up, "back in the day", I received a government check every month for four years. It started out at $69 per month but by the end of four years, it was over $200 per month.
(Do military checks count?)
How do you defund anything in a corrupt government?

Friends, please never forget, E.I.T.C. exists because of electing rinos. E.I.T.C. was Nixon's baby, first proposed by him, he wasn't around to sign it into law, that job fell to rino Ford and has increased under every administration since, with no exceptions.
Elections do indeed, have consequences and election of rinos can be every bit as bad as electing their rat counterparts.
When Representative Patrick McHenry (R., N.C.)
McHenry was one of the 75 weasels who voted with Boehner and the Democrats to fund Obama’s illegal amnesty for illegal aliens.
Now he’s concerned because we’re finding out how much his treason is going to cost us.
Toss all the cheap labor importers from Congress.
What about border crossdressers?
Outraged? Pretty soon we will be broke. Wait, we are already broke!!!!
GOP senators may have more difficulty adopting the House’s approach because of the senators’ larger constituencies, but they add that Representative McHenry’s bill fits more closely with the American people’s position.
DO you see what I see? These quisling Senators just publicly admitted that their Constituents are NOT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!
We need to inform every GOP person who might vote for this crap that it all comes out of their campaign contributions. They're running a serious deficit with me already (they are a lot of good decisions from collecting a dime).
Military checks are PAID to you while you performed a gubmint job. Believe me, military checks are NOT welfare checks.
