Excellent point. The Left never capitulates.
In 1996, CA voters outlawed quotas and racial set asides in public contracts and higher education. The Left's stalking horses sued and lost. Undaunted, Caltrans created a plan to keep quotas in contracting. That plan failed in the courts in the mid-2000s. Never willing to give up, when Obama took office they conspired with his DOT to get a threat letter that CA would lose federal highway funds if Caltrans did not have quotas and set asides.
They were sued.
This time, we lost because of an "escape clause" in the law that give deference to DOT federal funds strings.
Fifteen years they battled to do an end-run around the California voter to keep their institutionalized racism. They do not give up.
Obama lost $78.5 billion, including ALL of his proposed spending increases, in this deal with Boehner. That's not bad for a few months work half way into the fiscal year. Hopefully petulant "conservatives" will not cut-and-run from Boehner when he needs support even more for the 2012 budget and debt limit debates.
Well if that isn't a DNC talking point...
“Bipartisan is a synonym for date rape.”
Worth repeating.
They cut less than half a day’s worth of spending. That’s right. They cut a mere 12 hours of spending. All that grandstanding over not much.
“This wasnt our budget”
Uh, yes, it was. Nancy Pelosi failed to pass one so this is our budget now. We should have been feeding Obama one budget after another and let him veto it.
Yep....
The non-stop party in DC continues. Living it up on our tax dollars all these hacks, Federal drones and lobbyists. All fueled by borrowing from China, borrowing from the Federal Reserve Bank and of course by reaming out the taxpayers
The war over these “cuts” was fighting over a few billion when our problems are in the trillions
