I am with you....as long as they keep chipping away with each bill. If they can get the Dems to make more concessions with the debt limit vote, and then maybe one or two stand alone bills to cut or combine replicated programs, I would be relatively satisfied.

I do think their strategy in these first few months is less than desired, but they are mostly going to be trimming around the edges until there is at least a GOP senate majority, and setting the stage for more pickups in 2012.

Sorry friend, but chipping won’t cut it anymore! We are broke...we don’t have the option to chip anymore!

Boehner needed to show strength and conviction while the wind was at his back, and public support was strong. This move has effectively made pushing Ryan’s cuts (Mostly Entitlements) that much harder. It’s also emboldened the Democrats. Oh, and make NO mistake, they will spin this to their atvantage. We’ll be playing defense, while they’re on offense.

Make NO mistake, if Boehner caved on this, he’ll cave on Ryans proposal.

Rose colored glasses and Kool-Aid...what a combo!

Remember the days when we couldn’t get a flat dime cut off of anything?

We just need to keep ploughing ahead.

The dims will filibuster any changes. Sigh this is going no where.
