REID CAVES ON DEBT DEAL
Who would have guessed?
Any increase in the debt limit is a victory for the progressives. It is a slap to the face of each and every American who pays any taxes, at all. It is an abrogation of the mandate handed to the pubbies in 2010 in the House of Representatives.
Time to clear the entire den of thieves...
Reid does not cave on anything. He plots and gets even. He already knows something we don’t know and whatever it is, it will be painful for America.
Reid doesn’t give a damn about the American people and he never has.
He is creating as narrative that will eventually help him and hurt the republicans..... guaranteed.
“House Speaker John Boehner forged ahead with a plan to raise the current $14.3 trillion debt ceiling by about $1 trillion, along with commensurate spending cuts. That would require lawmakers to go through the painful process again next spring with an even larger debt and deficit package....Aides described it as a two-step process, with an immediate $1.2 trillion in cuts and spending caps coupled with a $900 billion debt ceiling increase.”
If indeed this is $1.2T immediate cuts up front and requires more cutting from there, then hell yes I support that. I suspect though that’s not the deal.
If the debt ceiling increases as much as one centavo, Reid didn’t cave! Boner and company did. And if any “cuts” that are announced are to take place in more than ONE YEAR, Boner and company are co-conspirators in a gigantic
fraud! Those “out years cuts” NEVER ACTUALLY HAPPEN.
Helloooo! We’ve been promised “out years cuts” for 40+
years. Has the government gotten one molecule SMALLER
in those 40+ years? No! I rest my case!
These Very Rats brought OUR country to its knees and Bonehead wants to PLAY NICE with them??
Blow the whistle and throw the flag then pull this third string ,Idiot out of there and put in Bachmann!
Here’s what really bothers me about all the wrangling and posturing in D.C. right now:
It’s Unconstitutional. It is an abandonment of the separation of powers and clearly defined constitutional procedures for setting spending policy.
The House is supposed to pass written legislation, the Senate is to consent, and changes in the versions are to be resolved through conference, and then final legislation is approved by both houses and it’s off to the President’s desk to be signed into law or vetoed. To allow the President to even take part in the legislative process until it reaches his desk is a violation of separation of powers.
We’ve abandoned that clear and orderly process for an exhibition of mud wrestling. We can never hope to get this under control until we return to the orderly Constitutional process for passing legislation.
I suggest the House pass their resolution and send it to the Senate, and then Boehner can tell them to do something with it. He needs to do anything more, nor should he.
That's kind of like me saying that I'm cutting $50,000 from my personal budget because I'm not going to buy a new car in five years.
In the Senate, Majority Leader Harry Reid was set to reveal a $2.7 trillion package of spending cuts....
&&&&
I will believe this when I see it; the Rats excel at bait-and-switch.

Boehner and Reid will get the bill through then Obama will veto it and demand a bill that goes through 2012 with no conditions applied other than the fictitious cuts.
The GOP needs to pass the Boehner bill and warn Obama that there will be no more heading his way.
