...Budget deals that consider revenue part of the problem always result in tax hikes while spending restraint is forgotten: Speaker Boehner: Today some seem intent on recycling the 1990 budget deal, only this time with much larger tax increases.

Take this article and others I found to the fight to the Libs on their own turf; put the Left on the defensive at at Digg and at Reddit and in Delicious and Stumbleupon
Good on him.
I think that fire was starting to feel pretty hot on his nuts lately. Looks like he responded.
Not allowing a tax hike? Thanks Boner but how about not allowing any funding for Obamacare.
If the government that we elect makes mistakes, who should pay the cost of those mistakes?
Mr. B is talks a good game, but so far has played like a loser. No wonder that 52% of repubs would vote 3rd party! If the Speaker wants to impress me and secure his job, he better start to play like team Odumbo, . . . For KEEPS!!!
The problem: Decades of Liberal ‘politicians’ spending OTHER PEOPLES’ MONEY to buy votes! AND decades of lazy and demanding losers who have accustomed themselves to living large at OUR EXPENSE!

Don’t hold your breath waiting for him and the GOP leadership to actually follow through on any of these grand pronouncements.

Unless WE push back, government can and will crush us.
