No, combined with the previous CR cuts it's more than $38 B.

$38 is just the deal done yesterday for part of the year.

At first our Republican heroes told us they would cut $100 billion

Then they told us they would cut $60 billion

Last night they told us they were only cutting $38 billion and use tax dollars to murder unborn babies.

Why do these "deals" always favor the Rats? We're going off the fiscal cliff. THEY SHOULD HAVE **STARTED** AT $500B, negotiated down TO A CUT OF $300 Billion!!!

“THEY SHOULD HAVE **STARTED** AT $500B, negotiated down TO A CUT OF $300 Billion!!!”

Exactly.

Boehner is a Big Boy and he understands the budget negotiation process. He started at 100 billion knowing that by the time a deal was reached it would have been far below 50 billion.

And the GOP surrendered in this first battle. Just ask yourself why Pollutico is praising Boehner. That should raise all kinds of red flags.

Well sir, I do hope there's more battles.

Boehner is going to get thrashed for this failure, regardless. We're way past accepting failure to invoke and fight for the agenda at this point.

Compromise is what the enemy wants...us to concede and continue to concede where they, in return, never concede anything. That's how we've gotten here.

Compromise is now akin to surrender, IMHO, especially since we are further endangered by any compromise with treasoncrats.

John BONER thinks that he was elected to ‘keep the government running’, not cut it down to achieve sustainability.

...and answered doubts from the conservative movement about whether he was a true believer.

Indeed

Does anyone remember the government shut down of 1995? I do. ...wanna know what happened?

Yep. I even called Newt's office and advised them that they couldn't cave no matter what. They agreed they wouldn't. What happened, they caved. And that is why they were beaten. And that is why we were beaten here. I no longer think our leadership believes in the America that we believe in. If they do then they don't have the courage God gave a baby chick.

“Controversial policy riders covering Planned Parenthood and EPA climate change regulations..."

"Controversial" = Any person, policy or proposal liberals don't wholeheartedly support.
