The Republicans were idiots for getting into this crap.
It seems they are idiots on a daily basis these days?
Exactly! WTG Boehner and crew. Bunch of idiots.
Weird... Ubama blames Republicans but then gives a warning to his own party of big spenders that he will veto their attempt to spend more. I guess this means the government is going to have to learn to live with the automatic 16% increase in spending it will be left with.
Correct. With Republicans controlling the House, the only roll-backs will be on military cuts. Obama gets to cut military spending and act like he's just being fiscally responsible.
The republican always fall into the Democratic trap that they will play by the rules. When will they ever learn? Play by the Democrats rules and win!
This was the compromise for raising the debt ceiling... amazing isn’t it? Failure after failure. Surrender upon surrender.
and they want OUR votes?
Absolutely. RINO leadership has taken us for a ride into the depths of foolishness.
“The Republicans were idiots for getting into this crap.”
Indeed they were, they let the democrats convince the public that shutting down the federal goverment would have catastrophic consequences.
For that alone many of them deserve not to be reelected.
One thing must be remembered the GOP holds the house if the money is there they can probably find $1.2 trillion (over 10 years) about any time they want to and pass a spending cut bill (say September 2012)and lift the automatic cuts to military and social spending. I can see it now the march with the big gavel like with Obamacare.
If I heard and understand this correctly the budget is on an upward glide path that makes these ‘cuts’ puny. If one just let the budget grow, net of cuts, we’ll still be broke. And soon! But keeping the tax rate increases off the table will reinforce the point. Washington is sucking America dry!

There, Jim, I fixed it for you.
