It may take another election cycle to get rid of the RINOs.
“For me it’s painful ... I have to deal with labor, it’s job training; with health, it’s community health centers; with education, it’s kids,” he said. “Mine is a painful process to find the savings necessary.”

He’s making it more complicated than it needs to be. These are issues the states should be handling, not the federal government.
It's an ongoing process and is fought continually. In 1964 it was Goldwater vs Rockefeller. In 1976 it was Ford vs Reagan. The RINO/CountryClub/Rockefeller wing of the GOP is always hovering in the background.
Keeping promises has not been a stong point of RINOS. They need to be bitch slapped if anything meaningful is to take place.
Didn’t Bachmann elude to nearly half a trillion in cuts?
SHE IS HERE!!!
Get rid of the scanners and stop buying more of them. That way you will also avoid all those cataract operations that Medicare would have to pay for.

Guilty rich people who make themselves feel good by stealing from the middle class and spending the loot “for the children,” “for the environment,” “for the future,” etc.
>>For example, a deeper cut could be achieved by using current spending levels rather than an Obama 2011 budget never enacted. <<
Why are they using a bloated budget as a base? Simply use 2006 spending - when RATs took control - as the base. And don’t refer to no increases as cuts. Unless this is a snow job, something Versailles on the Potomac is really good at.
Huge political win by the Tea Party....now, the Liberal RINO establishment knows they have to tow the line with the Tea Party...not vice versa
A bigger story than is being reported. Of course, the Liberal Media and the Liberal RINO Media (FoxNews) will downplay this.....
Another symptom of business as usual. It's not about them, it's about America. Any politician who worries about himself instead of the job they are supposed to do is part of the problem, not the solution.
So what this is, is a period of adjustment where the new people explain by action what the current leadership will need to do. Just because it gets whipped up by partisan hack media types who want to promote their agenda at the expense of the country does not mean it's a power struggle or an unraveling of the majority.
What they need to do is completely eliminate the freaking EPA.
It does NOTHING good for America. Bring back DDT, shoot the spotted owls and snail darters, close up shop!
Only $100 billion? What kind of joke is that? It needs to be multiple trillions. Entire departments.
If Ryan is a Fiscal Hawk we are in worse trouble than I thought.
Exactly. Our leaders are cowards...
Faux News. The New RINO Media channel.
But, but, butt, what would that do to the unemployment numbers?
Start cutting by disbanding the EPA.
That ought to be worth a few hundred billion to start with.
I like the general direction I’m seeing here.
Agree completely.
Our government borrows 40 cents of every dollar it spends. This means that we have to cut actual spending by 40% - over ONE TRILLION DOLLARS - just to get back to break-even spending.
The Republican leadership is struggling to find ONE TENTH the amount of cuts needed?!
They simply are not taking this (or us) seriously.
I have a new litmus test politicians: the only way I will take anyone seriously is if he or she immediately writes and submits a bill for across-the-board federal spending cuts amounting to 40% or > $1 trillion.
Go michelle Bachman, it is time to get radical if we want to emerge on top at all,,,we need to shut down whole depaartments of government....5 trillion sounds like a start..
