What Did the Republicans Get With the Budget Agreement?
Created 2011-04-09 00:49
Summary:
A compromise was reached on the 2011 Budget on Friday night. What did the Republicans gain and what did they lose in compromising with the Democrats?
Compromise in itself is a very major problem with Republicans. The Republicans have been compromising with the Left for decades, transforming the United States into a nation that has become progressively more Liberal and has accumulated a national debt greater than $14 trillion.

Speaker of the House John Boehner settled for less than $40 billion in spending cuts from President Obama’s 2011 budget. This is a lot of money, but less than the $61 billion in cuts that the voters had expected and demanded. The $1.65 trillion Obama is adding to our national debt this year is enormous and only slightly dented by the spending cuts. The current Republicans tell us the budget will not be balanced for quite some time.
Most of the Republican members of the House and the Senate who were first elected in 2010 were elected with the understanding that the Federal Budget would be cut significantly, ObamaCare would be fully defunded, and no more money would go to Planned Parenthood and NPR. Many Conservative voters will think that too much was given up by Speaker Boehner in reaching a compromise. Boehner’s great challenge will be to hold onto these voters and to regain their confidence for the 2012 elections.

“They promised the MSM would be nice.”
Larger crowds at our National Parks and the Air and Space museum today. I think that just about does it.
Posting rules do not allow for a rational response at this time except to say at least my investments into silver are paying off nicely. That is what happens when you kill your own money.
the democrats gave up nothing!
DEM increased spending by $10, gop proposed $3 cut, Dem say, how about $1. GOP agreed to compromise on $2
With this deal the GOP got the “honor” of adding a trillion to the debt over seven months.
A customer called him the “Weeper of the House” yesterday!
I don’t think it was to bad , we only have the house. time will tell.
Ha! Never. Thanks, Boohoo Boehner the crying caver.
They will get my ire, outrage and fury. Boehner gained a spot in history as a subversive. The Rino's gained an assigned parking spot from which they can watch the end of the Republic. America's new name is Ichabod, thanks to castrated republicans.
Hey Pubs either get some sack, or you will get sacked!

AND THE NATION GOT SHAFTED.
Agreed. If we really thought the elections would be threatened by a close, we had to chose our battles.
Much as I'd love to stand our ground and fight the good fight. The reality is that the swing-vote electorate is easily swayed by emotion and generally under informed.
It seems like it will take us and other voters to stop the communist democrats..Get ready folks and vote every filthy democrat out of office..Don’t stop being angry get them in 2012 and show ever last one of them they are not going to be in charge any more..
Bonerhead will get a little pat from the MSM for his Cave In. RINOS will praise him and Obama.
Kind of funny (sarc) that we are quibbling about a couple of billion when the debt is in the trillions!
We keep putting this off. We will be forced to deal with it and it will be nasty and maybe even violent.
It won’t be pleasant when you have to tell millions of voters that they have been lied to.
What are the Dems plans? Taxes? Continuing to bankrupt the country? Eventually, like any bank, our creditors will tell us “no more.” What happens then? — tons of debt and no means to pay for it.
If Boner was a ship captain he would be going in circles trying to head 370 degrees.
Republicans never fail to fail. The Pledge and the unborn slaughtered by government funded abortion were as inconsequential as the pittance in budget cuts. And news reports indicate those guys were pretty proud of themselves.
Pathetic and sad.
