“The White House immediately dismissed the new version, with spokesman Jay Carney calling it "moot and irrelevant" and certain to fail in the Senate.” This is a quote from an AP story by the following: Charles Babington and Donna Cassata, Associated Press, On Friday July 29, 2011, 1:47 pm EDT It is about the changes to the “Boehner plan” that are causing the Tea Party conservatives to agree to vote for it. This version will only increase a second time if the congress sends a Balance Budget Amendment to the States. So the White House is arrogant enough to believe that the American Peoples demands are “moot and irrelevant”?!? It is time we call these criminals on the carpet. Let them know that we already know about their games with the budget with the preprogrammed automatic 7.5% increase every year and their moving the goal posts by making the new baseline to include all war spending and stimulus (read Obama election slush fund) spending. A.C.O.R.N., or whatever they call themselves now, are still on the government dole as is Planned Parenthood and other Unconstitutional agencies (EPA, NEA, Department of Education, etc.), $770 million for refurbishing mosques overseas! Call both your Senators and your congress critter even if they are Rats. We the people must in force using the internet and phone system let the congress critters know that the game is up and we will not stand for any more of their deceptions. Balance the Budget Congress! Call, melt their phone lines, melt their email boxes, don’t stop until they surrender the wishes of the American People! One personal note: Please do not refer to the more dense members of Congress who don’t understand you can’t spend your way out of debt as idiots. Doing this is an insult to idiots because there fiscal blunders would be unintentional. Also do not say that the Government spends like drunken sailors. I have it on good authority that this is a lie. My son is a sailor, he is usually though not always the “designated driver”, and he tells me that when drunken sailors run out of their own money they stop spending!!! I have yet to see the American Behemoth Government do that. It is past time for We The People to reign this in. This is my proposal Respectfully,

Holy Wall of Text, Batman!
Is that you, ee?
I’m sorry but your reply just about had me spit my drink on my keyboard. That was awesome!

Whoever fixed the “wall of text” I sincerely thank you! As is obvious I have not started a thread in a very long time! It is time though that we end the garbage being fronted to the American Public by the Washington insiders.

Oh!MNJohnnie.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. As I said I haven’t started a thread for a very long time.(Clinton impeachment days)

<’with spokesman Jay Carney calling it “moot and irrelevant” and certain to fail in the Senate.”’>
Looks like the Dems who tell the Republicans to compromise won’t compromise themselves - THAT is why spokesman Jay Carney called it “moot and irrelevant” and certain to fail in the Senate.”’
