That’s what I am talking about. After the senate rejected the CCB plan, the House should have proposed a bill to lower the credit limit.

Right. And the “Tea Party Plan” gives him $2.4 TRILLION. Sheesh...

This political theatre is between those who want to spend a ton of money and those who want to spend a little less.
Whether we go over the cliff at 100mph or 80mph we are still going over the cliff.
Not a fight I will expend an ounce of energy on.

Cut spending AND cut taxes. Starve the beast.

I agree.

Is Fox the only job Bob Beckel has? He’s on all day it seems.

Then how about burning up the phones asking for a BBA, and immediate cuts in spending?

How about they drop plans to further enslave our posterity by spending trillions more they don’t have and simply balance the budget NOW?

They don’t need to amend the Constitution to do that. All they need to do is keep their solemn oath to “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”

Well spoken, so how about burning up the phones saying that?

I exercise every bit of the small influence I have on these matters every day.

And I also know the extent to which it falls on deaf ears in Washington.

Yes, sure, a rerun of the 300 million Cr savings that turned into pixie dust, boner has proved he is no leader. By the time it goes through reconciliation everything the democrats want will be in it and a few billion in pork. K street will be working all night on the lard, a must pass bill, hot damn, pass the bacon no reading allowed.

I’m beginning to smell a cave- John BOHICA Boehner is apparently on board for massive debt limit increase NOW for a fantasy FUTURE (10 yr) spending cut. I trust and pray that the rest of the house will rebel and refudiate BOHICA Boehner.

I don’t know if Bob Beckel does anything else, but he sure was slurring his words last night.
