NASA climate programs being eyed for the budget axe ( Yes,...start with Jim Hansen's GISS....)
Fuzzy math, it was reported earlier today that they were going go whole hog and maybe cut spending 32billion. Who is lying to who here.
Attention RINO’s
All your base are belong to us.
Signed, tea party.
I thought it was a $34 billion cut.
So it begins. This is what I’ve been waiting for to see if it would happen. I wondered if the conservatives wouldn’t balk.
Too bad they can't defund Obama's salary. He never does any work. Destroying America doesn't count!

How much are those 3 per year?
$100 Billion dollars is a joke, we have a $1.5 Trillion budget deficit and add $1.8 Trillion to the National Debt and these guys are kidding themselves.
We can’t just reduce the deficit by 7 or 8% Boehner and the leadership is only willing to do 2 or 3% of the deficit and 1% of spending.
It's already weasel time for the GOP House? This sounds like the old "the cuts are not really less money than last year, but rather are less of an increase than was planned" scam the scumbag politicians have been pulling forever. Really? Republicans are "cutting" Ubanga's insanely bloated budget request and expecting people to believe that they are fiscally responsible??
How freaking disappointing...
When this bill passes the House, passes the Senate, passes reconciliation, and is signed into law by PResident Obama, the elite politicians in this country will have publically admitted the country is doomed to oblivion and there is no rescue possible before a complete collapse and possible dark ages or rebirth, depending upon the will and fortitude of a broken and destitute North American populace.
It’s all over folks, every single one of your(our) special interest payments from the governments’ largesse is going to be defaulted on, every military installation overseas will be withered away, every government bondholder left with nothing more than kindling, and every elite in society fighting like cannibals for the scraps of the empire.
The world economy is going to simultaneously revolt against the Federal Reserve status quo framework and substantially collapse... eventually... the timing can go on as bubbling through debt transfer payments are built upon prior bubbles, but within the Gen X lifetime the entire scheme collapses.
No one remembers the names of the last Senators and Generals of Late Rome....
It we are to make substantial cuts, we’re going to need a budget cutting president in 2012 along with a larger number of aggressive legislators. And then we need to back them to the hilt! Camp out on the capital grounds if that need be.
$100 billion is a rounding error of the projected 2011 deficit.
The new congress is a fraud.
If they agree to this they have just owned Obama’s deficit.
I agree with post #21. If they agree to this they have just admitted that there is no possibility of saving ourselves. We prefer economic collapse to making even the slightest cut. We are willing to admit that every dollar of Obama’s deficit is necessary except for that last couple of percent.
That was not the reason we sent these people to Washington, to help Obama justify his deficit or the help him govern. We sent them to turn this ship around and stop this president before he does any more damage.
Is it that hard to roll it back even to the out-of-control Bush deficit? Not asking for miracles here, even the Bush deficits are starting to look like Calvin Coolidge. And they can’t even do that.
Brilliant.
$100 Billion is a small fraction of any given bailout.
We need TRILLIONS in cuts.
TEA PARTY TAKING CHARGE AND CHARTING A NEW COURSE IN D.C.! WATCH OUT RINOS AND BLUE DOGS, YOU’LL SOON BE ON THE ENDANGERED SPECIES LIST!!!
If they were proposing cutting $1 trillion of spending, then I’d be impressed. Cutting $100 billion is but a drop in the bucket.
Believe it...when I see it written into law...and read the details.
Same thing with all the other congressional and senate RINOs. The Democrats have them all blackmailed. If they cave in to the conservatives, their sordid affairs will be exposed.
Better for them to retire while they can, because the country cannot survive with them capitulating to the commies.
