Rush Limbaugh is right on the money when he says Republicans do not know how to lead anymore...
So... does $100 billion in “cuts” still means that leviathan gets to spend $100 Billion more than last year?
lol.
I hope the doofuses in the GOP don’t think this is actually going to benefit them. If the Senate-House Conference restores the spending, the House would be stupid to shut down the government over the difference between $1.4 trillion deficit and $1.5 trillion deficit.
Now if the House leadership had, ON DAY ONE, announced they would start proceedings with the premise of a balanced budget and would force all other spending to be justified and get a 2/3rds vote.
Then the GOP would be able to show a stark contrast with the left. But they can’t, any attempt to shut down the government over the difference between $1.4 trillion and $1.5 trillion would be seen as retarded by the American people. Including Republicans.
Other than a cosmetic effect, I’m still trying to figure out what the GOP establishment types were trying to accomplish with that half-assed “cut” of $32B.
