Progress is in made in increments. We don’t yet have the votes to achieve what we want and it’s foolish to believe we could have got any better deal than what we did. In order to really change things, we must win in 2012.

i’m far from an expert, but Rush, Mark Levin, Club for Growth, Heritage Foundation, Jim DeMint, and many others, say you are wrong.
doing NOTHING, would have been better, than giving Obama another 2 TRILLION to spend.
instead of forcing HIM to cut freebies to HIS base,
all this did was dishearted the people who literally sent money they couldn’t afford, to send Tea Party candidates like Alan West to DC, who then betrayed them.

and funny, but the Democrats seem to do VERY well, with 1/3.
and look at the spending increase they got in 2007, when the GOP still had the WH.

and if we DO win, in 2013 there will be a 17 TRILLION debt, downgraded AAA rating, double digit unemployment and inflation.

Holding the line NOW, for REAL spending cuts, like the Coburn plan (9 trillion in REAL cuts) would have SAVED the economy, and sparked a REAL recovery!

Obama has increased spending by 40%. and we cut it back by 2%.
wow. great victory.

cutting an increase, is NOT a decrease.
and this bill passes the 2012 and 2013 budgets by “deeming”,
and has BUILT IN increases of 5%, and allow the Bush tax cuts to expire.
wow. great victory.

another such victory, and the war will be lost...

You would be wise to not consider Rush an expert at anything other than his own self promotion. Likewise Levin is not an expert on economics and you can count in DeMint as well. It's unpredictable what a default would have done. But I'm betting it wouldn't be good. And I'm willing to bet Obama is totally willing to destroy the US economy if given a chance. And I can assure you that the Mainstream News Media would have blamed it on the Republicans not compromising. This would have led to a disaster in 2012. This is what they were hoping for. Again you must never have been in involved in negotiations when you don't hold the high cards. It's easy to say things like we should no nothing and let a default happen. But when things are on the line you must cut the best deal you can. I wouldn't take the gamble of a default.
