Thanks for posting this, kristinn. I know you’ve taken some grief from some whiners on FR lately. I appreciate your work.
And while I am at it, kudos to John Boehner, too. His proposals aren’t perfect, but they’re put down on PAPER and real, unlike Hussein’s speechifying, and Hairy Reed’s mealy mouthed half assed approach.
So let him re-do the bill—it shows he is willing to take critical analysis and work the numbers right. He made a mistake last go-round, hopefully he learned from the situation and is working to make it better this time.
I do think he ought to incorporate someone in the Tea Party with his leadership team...get their input into a bill. The House can pass two or three strong bills, and send them to the Senate.
Let Reid deal with any or all of them...then Boehner can again say to the American people that the House gave the Demonrats several choices.
Yes thanks kristinn. And isn't it just one whiner?
I'll also say to Boehner - he is indeed putting it on paper and is revising. That's what should be happening. But, he should have known [maybe he did] that 6 billion in cuts wasn't even near.
He should have learned that we need a lot more than 6 billion this year. I think a similar plan with 150 billion in cuts THIS YEAR would fly. Get it passed and move to the budget and prep to win the House, Senate, and White House in 2012.
But if this is schlepped together and is worthless, we may lose all three.
I agree with your sentiment. Boehner is doing a credible job in a very difficult situation.
I am guessing he is tired of so many cans ending up in his front yard.
