Would someone please explain what is going on?
Close a loophole = tax increase. Dems win
Put entitlements on the table = kill seniors. Dems win
I would let the dems set the table and the republicans roll back all the EPA and Banking regulations put in place since 2006.
Force the rats to say no to environmental policies killing the country.
Mark Levin is right a bad deal is worse than no deal.
Lets be clear here. This Congress cant bind future Congresses or presidents to a debt reduction deal. Any talk of spending now and reducing spending later is pure hog wash. The future reduction wont happen or future spending will be increased on new sacred cows.
The have to deal with this problem one year at a time. Write a balanced budget for THIS year!
If you can draw Mitch McConnell, aka Tippy, you can earn your way into art school.
If this is really true...both OBoner and OMcConnell are SAD POS’s!
I’m still trying to understand;
why do we have to have a debt ceiling increase and
why do we have to put cuts ten years out - everyone knows they won’t happen.
I say this to both McConnell & Boehner. Give Obama and the Democrat Party zilch, nothing, zero, etc., other then cuts, caps & balanced budget amendments. No taxes whatsoever, except an overhaul of the entire tax system changing to a Flat/Fair tax system, wherein every worker, company and labor union, the rich and poor from top to bottom will pay a fixed set amount with no deductions allowed. Then layoff about 600,000 IRS workers, and shutdown the USPostal Service, turning it over to FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc. Put Obama and his destroy America Democrat Party on notice this evening, that this is a concrete, unmovable, line in the sand. Doing less, listening to the MSM and spinners is past. If no deal can be reached, walk away from the table and let the government default (It won’t). Anything less, McConnell/Boehner and the Republican Party ceases to exist as a major political party, and...you two buffoons and traitors go down with it!!!
It’s apparent there will be an increase of the ceiling. If it’s more than $1trillion, Obama skates through the next election without debt/defecits being an election issue. Under a trillion will take us to next spring where it will be THE issue. Will give republicans 9 months to grow some balls. Ha, sure.
Do you want to be reelected?
Defund ... Defund ... Defund.
and when finished Defund some more
of the WORTHLESS programs and Departments.
A winning formula to stop zer0care,
and zer0's out of control spending.
Dear Republicans, do you want to be reelected?
Senate Republicans back the House Republicans,
or suffer the consequences.
None of this stuff is as complicated as our elected prima donnas want to make it seem.
Any one of us could, as president, simply tell both houses that we want the budget for the coming year dialed back five percent of this year’s budget. Five percent. Approve it or get out of town.
Every one of us has been in a situation at home or work where things had to be trimmed. Only in Washington do they fight about a “cut” of one or two percent in the ten or fifteen percent increase they’ve already tacitly agreed upon.
It is disgraceful.
Dennis Miller has the right idea on the debt ceiling. Let the crunch come (if there even is a crunch in the offing). Then let every department head and every damn whinging head bureaucrat come in and make his case to continue receiving funds.
As Miller points out, at least half of the clownish mandarins would be too embarrassed even to come in and explain what the hell their budgets have been going toward.
Five percent a year reductions on BASELINE for five years. Then we would begin to be able to recognize America again.
Folks the Republicans can not do much until they take control of the Federal gov. Kicking the can down the road until 2012 is the wisest thing the GOP can do. Take whatever cuts you can get, no new taxes and rise ceiling enough to get thur 2012 election. When take the issue to the voters.
“...and they punt!”
Putting off for another day.
That's CUT $4 TRILLION FROM PROJECTED BORROWING!!! That means that they are planning to keep borrowing. . . . to buy more votes!!!!
These Marxist fools have got to go!!!!
