This says it all
That’s how out of whack the baseline is: A $9.5 trillion cut. Remember the $9 trillion figure we used at the end of the program yesterday. That is the cumulative total of automatic baseline increases for the next ten years.
So we really are cutting nothing....the country is going broke...
If we get the senate and Sarah we might have a chance...she is the peoples president...The dems hate her and the Gop hates her..GAME ON

No matter what the politicians say, it’s all phoney.
Don’t raise the debt ceiling. ever.
Force the government to survive on only the existing revenue stream.
THAT is how we get a balanced budget.
If this new crop of Tea Party GOPers, don’t begin to understand this and raise holy hell with the leadership... they will have become part of the problem! I also don’t get why the $1T “stimulus” from 2009, is still in the budget? Cut it now!
Because, as I understand it, that trillion dollar stimulus is going to occur every year from now until the end of the United States.
It's all they know.
It's political, numbers crunching, mind twisting, truth smashing, smooth talking trash and it takes a politician a lifetime in Washington to learn the ropes.
The Tea Party is what got the GOP the House and it's their only chance of getting the Senate and the die hard lifers are going to smash the Tea Party's efforts like they are the enemy just to save their own sorry a$$'s.
It won't work, without the Tea Party the GOP is done!
Don’t raise the debt ceiling. ever.
agreed. or even this:
Lower the Debt Ceiling

...as for baseline, i vote for 2006. as silverleaf pointed out, the 2006 budget BALANCES with current income.
Un-effing believable.
our Founding Fathers only put permission for the government to borrow money, for EMERGENCIES, like WARS.
...never for perpetual debt, to be passed on to posterity!
“... but by vigorous exertions in time of peace to discharge the debts which unavoidable wars have occasioned, ...” - George Washington
“It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes.” - Thomas Jefferson
That’s how I look at it: now matter how the budget battle comes out, if we can hang on until Jan 2013, with Sarah and the Senate winning, we’ll turn this thing around. She’ll turn Washington inside out.
If not, God help us.

Yes, we do. "We're All Socialists Criminals Now"
...Sometimes the law defends plunder and participates in it. Thus the beneficiaries are spared the shame, danger, and scruple which their acts would otherwise involve. Sometimes the law places the whole apparatus of judges, police, prisons, and gendarmes at the service of the plunderers, and treats the victim — when he defends himself — as a criminal.
But how is this legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime.
Then abolish this law without delay, for it is not only an evil itself, but also it is a fertile source for further evils because it invites reprisals. If such a law — which may be an isolated case — is not abolished immediately, it will spread, multiply, and develop into a system.
Do not listen to this sophistry by vested interests. The acceptance of these arguments will build legal plunder into a whole system. In fact, this has already occurred. The present-day delusion is an attempt to enrich everyone at the expense of everyone else; to make plunder universal under the pretense of organizing it.

“I also don’t get why the $1T “stimulus” from 2009, is still in the budget?”
That’s the “slush fund” they hope to use to get reelected.
Thanks for the link and great posts, in a thread of great posts.

The stimulus itself raised the baseline by a trillion dollars in one vote.
With the Bohener plan it’ll take 10 years to cut that one program.
This is fraud!
