We’re being played by the powers-that-be in DC. Is it coincidence that, as Boehner was preparing to cave over a measly $30 billion, our attention was redirected to Paul Ryan’s budget and its supposed $6 billion (now already being reduced to $4 billion)? Where, really, has the GOP shown any resolve to reduce spending by any significant amount?
.
Obama has increased Federal spending by $600 billion a year. Proposed Federal spending remains at the high level that included the supposedly temporary “stimulus” spending. If Obama agrees to $60 billion in “cuts”, he still keeps spending 90% of the increase!
It’s a problem. What do you think we will accomplish in this congress with a hostile senate and administration? We need to win the next election. The best we can do for the next year and a half is to keep it from getting worse.
