Yikes. Yup.
So why does Boehner bring up the Judicial Branch? Isn't that irrelevant when it comes to passing a budget?
Isn't it more accurate to describe the Republican control of the budget process as being ~1/3?
That’s fair. I don’t think of the judicial branch as being a part of the budget process either but technically people that say that are correct. I’m not a huge Boehner fan, I would have preferred one of the younger members be the speaker, but they aren’t. I’m just trying to decide in my own mind the best way to ultimately achieve what we all want, that being to cut spending in a permanent, responsible way. And in my mind the best way to do that is to win the senate and the white house in 2012 and I think the best way to do that is by taking what we can get now and after the elections of 2012 make the major changes we want. Others have different thoughts but all the threats of sitting out elections and name calling to me are not productive to our side in the long run. That’s just me.
