House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev) chastised GOP colleagues as “intransigent” in their refusal to accept the Democrat’s “50% cut” proposal.
“Look, we have stated repeatedly that we are willing to scale back spending increases by 50%--to meet our opponents halfway, so to speak, but we can’t get any agreement,” Pelosi complained.
Reid mocked House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) for “letting himself be bossed around by a caucus dominated by freshman representatives. Boehner’s been around long enough to know the score. There’s no realistic way we can actually reduce spending. Getting an agreement on slowing the rate of growth in spending is the best he can hope for. The President’s offer to settle for half of the increase in spending that he’d like is as generous as he can be. Boehner needs to get real and stop kowtowing to those newly elected Republicans who don’t understand how Washington works.”
You’re just too close to the truth here John for anyone to believe it’s satire.
Now a days, you just can’t tell the difference.
:)
How can you tell?
(btw. I know it's John's site)
Crap! Got me again.
This appears to be the first time you’ve included Satire in the headline. Thanks. That way I know not to read it.
