“Appears to me, we have just watched the end of the Republic and the establishment of a Polit Bureau.”
Ditto that.
I wonder how much of this money will go to Zero’s brown shirt brigade? Let’s all not forget that little gem that he wants badly. Truth be told, he probably wants that more than the spending increase.
2012 can’t come soon enough.
Go weep with Boner. Maybe the rest of us can pick up and run enough Tea Partiers to carry the next election. No caucus in your neck of the woods?
Overreaction much?
This isn't even the budget fight which begins in September and October. This is probably one of the only times, that I know if at least, that a debt ceiling increase was actually tied to ANY spending cuts. The cuts may be small, but the ship of state is like a super tanker and turning it around is not easy and takes a long time.
The idea that a Republican House was just going to roll in and force a Democratic Senate and the socialist we have in the White House to accept anything much more dramatic than this is just silly.
Our system it set up to prevent drastic change, and the problems we are facing are the culmination of decades of misrule and mismanagement, not just the couple years Hussein has occupied the White House.
