These “cuts to be named later” really bother me. Who will name them later? What if no one can agree on what to cut. Do these clowns really believe that we the people will put up with much more of these games?

Who are the Senate members of the Gang of Six? I thought Alexander(TN) and Coburn(OK) were in it, but who are the rest? Where is the accountability if they are a secret society?

I just heard that the government has not paid down the debt since 1960. That would make more than 50 years of mismanagement.

From April...

How Did $38 Billion in Spending Cuts Turn into Only $352 Million?

Fool me once....

I think we in the Tea Party movement were a bit naive in thinking that the 2010 election, by itself, would change Washington.

As earth shaking as 2010 was, it needs to be replicated 2 or 3 more times in a row before we see a permanent change in the culture of DC.

Guys like McConnell, for instance, and other entrenched GOP professional politicians need to be dispatched.

You can count on the GOP to cave, just as they did during the Reagan tax hikes and the Bush I tax hikes. The phantom “spending cuts” never happen, but the Dems will have more cash to spread around to their special interest groups to turn out their vote in Nov. ‘12.

How terminally stupid can the Republicans be? Every GOP senator who votes for this Obama bailout and is up for re-election should be voted out in next year’s primaries.

The entire process is just one big joke. The corrupt politicians ( government) have no interest in doing anything meaningful.

The new Senate plan came as House Republicans were engaged in more posturing, passing a balanced budget amendment they knew in advance was going nowhere. Symbolic votes are mighty important to these freshmen congressmen, impressed as they are with the power they now have to legislate nothing.

At least the House is doing its job, which is more than can be said of the Senate or POTUS. The one mistake the GOP is making is not touting the fact that they have passed CCB, putting some pressure on the non-working functions of our government.

“The Gang claims “savings” of $3.7 trillion over ten years, but Sen. Jeff Sessions, who has seen the plan scores the actual cuts at 1.2 trillion...”

Eric Cantor should tell obama “You say you won’t support our plan. When you present a plan I’ll let you know whether or not I support it” then get up and walk out.

Only dems and rinos can raise taxes and say it’s cutting taxes and say it with a straight face. Sadly, the majority of the people in this country either aren’t paying attention or are just plain dumb.
