And here I thought McConnell was supposed to be on our (conservatives) side. Silly me.

God save us from these idiots, traitors and cretins....

on ‘both’ sides of the aisle.

How about the backup plan where we make drastic cuts in spending to save the nation? What happened to that plan?

You do know how this works. Congress passes an appropriation bill good for 1 year in most cases, but in no wise longer than 2 years.

We just put the new Congress in office in January. The previous Democrat run Congress did most of the appropriations for FY 2011. It ends in October and we are in to FY 2012. The Republican House will for the first time since it was elected face entirely new appropriations for that period.

That's where we make CUTS.
