The republicans failed. They let us down again. Just like they always do when push comes to shove. They say they only had 1/3 of the federal government, but it was 1/3 that could have said "No" and didn't.

The newly elected Conservative American Tea Partiers failed. The DeadStream Media wants them to think they won. How is this a victory? Downgrade is on the way for the credit rating, the debt ceiling was raised, and federal government spending will increase by $7-Trillion dollars over the next 10 years!! If that is "victory," I'd hate to see what failure looks like.

Sums it up here. The House contols the purse. The "Tea Party" had the House that amttered and sold out. I refuse to allow these cretins to pass responsibility. They voted for it and they own it.

I expect the Democrats and the Muslim Marxist to screw us, but its really hard to take when the Republicans and the Tea Party sell out too.

This country is done for. Bankrupt. The United States is over. Soon the only things that will matter are food and water; money will just be worthless paper. I hope the coming Civil War II holds those responsible for this mess to account, and that the USA breaks up into smaller states that respect individual liberty and limited government the way the Founding Fathers intended.

The House contols the purse.

agreed. the 1/3 argument is nonsense, especially when we had the leverage of the debt ceiling.
...funny, the Dems didn’t have any problem INCREASES spending, in 2007, when they didn’t control the WH...
= = =

So what would victory have looked like for us? For one thing, the automatic increases in federal spending should have been eliminated. That would have prevented us from increasing spending by $7-Trillion over the next ten years.

we had the Dems over the debt ceiling barrel. we could have forced THEM to cut freebies to THEIR base.

now, the triggers will put US over the Defense barrel, gutting our Military unless we agree to raise taxes, etc.

and worse, the new bill allows congress to “deem” the 2012 and 2013 budgets to pass, has built in 5% increases (which they then can get credit for “cutting” part of, allows tax cuts and AMT to expire, and more.

When Mark Levine, Rush, Jim DeMint, Heritage Foundation, Club for Growth, and many rock solid conservatives scream “NO”,
and
Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid say “yes”,
it’s not a good bill for America.

Barbara Boxer PRAISED McConnell.
we ALL know what it means, when the libs praise a GOPer.
it means we’ve been had.

and Boehner himself, broke his 72 hour posting pledge. why?

now, we will enter 2013, with a 17 trillion dollar debt, downgraded AAA with increased interest costs, double digit inflation and unemployment.
if we win the WH, we will need Houdini, not Reagan!

...and yet still people are teling us what a great victory this was... and telling us to read the Bill.
when the more we read it, the worse it is for America.

Obama INCREASED spending by 40%. we cut that increase,
by 2%. wow. what a victory !

we have sold our children into serfdom.
