But they won, they got the Republicans to flinch, as usual.
That’s nutz, we won. Why is it that too many Freepers always see the glass as half empty. Give me the Reagan optimism anytime. (I might add, Reagan had to compromise too). You will never get everything you want. You get the best deal you can negotiate, hopefully better than the party you are negotiating with. Boehner did this admirably. Geez, some Freepers are as big a downner as Glenn Beck’s shows lately.
Again, well stated. Boehner had to negotiate with Obama and Reid -- it was 2 against 1. Obama caved quite a bit, in terms of the bill itself and in terms of the requirements he stated concerning the process. If Obama were to keep his word, the CR that keeps the gov't open through next week will not be signed by the Oval Office.
The Speaker of the House is running around declaring “This is the best we can do.” That’s just weak and pathetic.
NOTHING — let me repeat — NOTHING was cut. We're not spending $38 bn out of $1400 bn we don't have in a budget of $4000 bn that was never passed to begin with.
We control 1/3 of the process. That means we should have started with $467 bn in cuts to the FY deficit budget RIGHT NOW and negotiated from there. What has happened tonight is tyrannical: it taxes, without representation, hundreds of millions of Americans who can't yet vote or who have never been born. It's nothing more than business as usual.
