Essentially the entire senate is a collection of disingenuous sacks of crap. They disgust me. Unaccountable jackwagons, nearly every one.
Of that’s GREAT Kyl.
So they can replace you with somebody like Snowe or Collins who WILL approve it?
YEAH, Kyl, this was a GREAT idea - the Supercommittee.
Kudoos to you and Boner and McConnell - right up the butt!!!
Obama gets his campaign-saving debt increase, and NOTHING gets cut, at all.
Say Hello to the Potomac two-step.
Pull the trigger!!! Our “defense” budget has almost nothing to do with defense and everythign to do with budget-busting and futile world policing.
What could go wrong? It's not like they want to have secret meetings or anything...
BTW, I STILL can't find the originator of the idea for the super-duper committee. Somebody had to come up with this nightmare, who was it?
Perhaps it was just "miracled" into existence?
.
I’m hearing through military people they are being told to cut 30%.
Jon Kyl declares himself the number one enemy of American retirees dependent on Social Security and Medicare.
Which comedian joked about Congressmen being required to wear uniforms like NASCAR drivers, with all their sponsors patches publicly displayed?
“My right to continue to receive campaign contributions from military industrial contractors far exceeds the rights of American people to retain their purchasing power in their meager US Dollar savings.” - Jon Kyl, September 8th, 2011
“Eat dog food or die grandma, there’s Iraqi sub-contractors in need of more zeroes in their Dubai bank accounts” - Jon Kyl, September 8th, 2011
All Heil Kyl, ruler and destroyer of Afghani shepherd boys. Let the goat herders lament the continued destruction of their bungholes, for He has said, let it be, and it was done, praise be he in his infinite wisdom, protector of quarterly profits, benefactor of countless vacation communities on both coasts, and crown prince of the county of Fairfax, and the independent fiefdom of Alexandria.
Walk the talk.
I don’t buy it.
Central Planning is NOT AMERICAN. Stop the MARXISM!
Honest at this point, we need to be looking at the possibility of letting the Federal military collapse for a time. Remember theses many of agents, are folk that are likely to follow the orders in raising arms to enslave us.
The standing army is a threat to American liberty precisely because its officers and personnel are hand picked by the same folk who would usurp the same at home.
As long as the Federal Constitution means nothing to them folk, and is unenforceable by anyone else that army is a grave threat to any effective resistance to their tyranny(illegitimate goverment).
We must be prepared to let the Federal army and air-force collapse!
ditto.
The first item on the cutting block must be foreign aid. Americans are tired of supporting other countries whose citizens are better off than the USA. We can’t pay for disasters here. Cut all foreign aid now! Only then can we legitimately get support for making deep cuts in the budget for America.
We need to develop a top to bottom culture in the government and military of running a tight ship - of waste not want not. I’ve been there done that and there are huge pots of waste going on in all branches of the govt and military. The culture needs changed.
The more you see it the less you give a damn about the waste. The only way to correct it is to do more with less and you start by making major cuts. It forces managers and officers and NCOs to figure out ways to do more with less just as it does in business.
This was the phrase that summarized the futility of this whole house of cards. If we have laws we ignore, as we are doing, then we are screwed.
“Isn’t it a little late for this, Senator Kyl? Why did Republicans cave on defense cuts during the “debt ceiling” debate. “
Good point. If he goes off and supercommittee does nothing, cut happen.
Also, we NEED TO CUT SPENDING. All of it. Everywhere. DoD included.
“Was it because of Tea Party pressure as well as Democrap pressure?”
No. Reid wrote much of the bill with McConnell it must have been his idea.
But the GOP has to stop being addicted to DoD spending. Our national security will be meaningless if we are in hock to the Chinese. So balance the budget by cutting spending is 100% necessary.
Seems to me he needs to stay on the committee to prevent automatic defense cuts from happening, if an agreement fails to occur. Cannot believe the Pubs agreed to this automatic cut?
While his position seems worthy, why isn’t he just calling for the abolishment of the so called super committee? It is obviously unconstitutional and has no place in our legislature. Why didn’t he scream loud and long when it was proposed on the idiotic bill they allowed to be passed?
Surprise, surprise - - the entire debt ceiling "debate" was a charade from the beginning. The rats win.
Who put the stupid in the stupid party? The Rinos did, the Rino did!
Then find the cuts elsewhere.
