The rest is just bits and pieces from the article.
Bohner got the better end of the stick.
Democrats wanted no cuts and then conceded to $10 billion.
They ended up giving up $38.5 billion in cuts. They also had to agree to Federally Fundede abortions in Washington, DC
A farce ...
39 billion in cuts when we have a 1.65 trillion deficit????????????
Next year the much hailed Ryan budget is only 5% better than Obama’s adding another trillion plus to the debt???????????
This is not VICTORY.
Bonehead got nothing. The MSM is praising him for the cave in.
Additionally, the deal lays the ground work for Ryan's FY2012 plan and beyond...
In my opinion, Bohner claimed he got the best deal he could.
The 0 man (0bama) would have made it such that the military would have been unpaid during a shutdown.
The 0 man is that big of an @$$hol3 (begins with the letter a and ends in the letter e) to make those dying for our country suffer!!! As idiot-in-chief, the zero man can prove how cruel he can be to the US Military.
Let us not forget this come election time!
Some perspective. “Biggest spending cut in history” is $38.9 billion. Biggest spending package in history, the stimulus, was $787 BILLION.
Bohner should have held his ground on defunding EPA and NPR. He failed to frame the EPA issue in terms of destroying the economy with implementation of a debunked hoax. Defunding NPR is a no-brainer. The dems will fight to the death for abortion, so defunding Planned Parenthood should have been the throw away demand.
This isn’t even re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titantic, it’s moving around the salad forks.
I hope the buffoons set up a “study” group to “monitor” the visitor numbers at the National Parks and Air and Space Museum this morning. I’d like to see if this “averted” government shutdown really does drive up the visitor numbers into the billions as the DemocRATS and their commie toadies in the state run “media” claimed it would.
Has the spending clock increased by $38.5 billion since the vote yet?
In my opinion, this puts us on the road to greece and riots in the streets, it didn't have to be this way.
Given that it was 2 against 1, the Speaker did ok.
The real fight comes next. But I don’t think it’s going to be as easy for the dems.
Bohner = Captain Cave Man.
I’ve never met a republican with a backbone....except for Sarah Palin. She’s the only one that will stand up and take the hit.
Boehner is a coward.
How is a DOD cut a loss? Across the board means across the board. I guess Arabs may have to solve some of their own damn problems.
This is not one for the "loss" column. the DoD needs to be cut just like everything else.
I think we all knew the moment Boehner took the gavel that it was all over. The very fact that he took this dog and pony show to almost the very last moment just makes him look even weaker than we thought he was. He should have folded earlier and saved this nation alot of anger and worry. He is a major loser.
All the people who voted in a Repub House thinking it would change anything.
SSDD
Now, the debate is about how much to cut rather than how much to spend. That is a victory in and of itself.
Nobody WON. WE ALL LOST. THis is nothing more than a paper cut, when the operation should have started at the belt line instead. All of Obama’s new agencies, Czars, etc, all got their addictions taken care of quite handily.
