>> Florida Rep. Allen West emerged from the meeting to say that he didnt want fairy dust spending cuts that are projected over the next decade.
Damn straight, Mr. West!
DEEP CUTS — BRUTAL CUTS — NOW!!! Not in ten years. NOW!!!
I’m not sure I see Boehner chickening out here. It “seems” at this moment that he is holding the line. (Of course, he knows he has to).
Good quote from Cantor also. There is, at this time, no path forward, b/c we are not doing “revenue increases”. Period.
Go GOP.
Quit going to the WH John. You are a co-equal branch of government.
Boehner simply doesn’t have the cojones for the job. He is NOT a leader, and should resign so someone with resolve can take over. Bob
The Federal Bureaucracy must be decimated and Obamacare wiped out for it to be a good deal.
Pass a deal that averts a crisis, and then dare Obama to veto it.
Boehner should call the House into session at the time appointed for the fake White House meetings, pass a stiff bunch of immediate deficit reduction stuff and let the Senate and/or Zer0 destroy it.
No kidding. You’d think as much as ZerØ likes getting out of the house, he could at least hope in the limo and drive down the street and meet at the Capitol.
Keep up the calls/emails.
Keep up the calls/emails.
You’re assuming the senate would pass for O to veto.
Removing ObamaCare would go a long way down the road to fiscal sanity.
PLEASE LTC West run for the Presidency! Boehner is a sell out.
What are you talking about?
Did you bother to read what the article said?
This train wreck has been a long time coming and everyone concerned diddle daddled up to this very grave situation.
We no longer have the time or the luxury of accepting the same kind of grudging, half-hearted and frankly half-a&^3s measures which used to get proposed and accepted.
Things have now reached a critical mass. NOW, the same old tried and failed Kabuki economics and smarmy political fixes amount to handing a band aid to a hemophiliac.
I think so too. I thought that was the idea of the election. They took one useless vote and swept it under the rug.
Boner can claim he’s done his job in averting a crisis, but the rest are being beligerent. One SHTF, it will make O’Bozo and the Senate look really bad.
The other alternative is for Boner to pass no bill, then Obama stops paying SS checks and military salaries, and blames those evil mean radical right-wing Republicans for not passing a debt bill.
Rubio going to be on Rush today.
The president needs to get his plan down on paper, Roby said. We have yet to see his plan.
- That's about all they need to say at this point. Put the pressure on the POTUS continually, and run down the clock. He will crack if forced to come up with something under the deadline. (Why accept responsibility for a problem that you didn't cause?)
