remember that vote that jammed the increase in the debt ceiling down out throats? Just before our debt was downgraded?
Boner et al believed “compromise” and putting the Dept of Defense and MEDICARE on the table for “sequestration” (a sacrificial lamb) would make the democrats finally grow up after running through another $1.5 trillion increase in their allowance - just before the elections
Meanwhile the democrats knew they had no intention of stopping spending, that $1.6 trillion would tide them through obama’s next election before raising the debt ceiling again, and that the GOP does not have the stones to stop them
We the People were screwed
but only a few people and some FOX news analysts seemed to notice, or care
Remember??? I did a vanity on ithere immediately after the House passed it.
Passed a deal that delays all cuts until after the election, and then claiming that those cuts that take place after the election with a new congress and POTUS (maybe), are cuts that those voting for it claim really don't want???, while calling it a success was really sleazy. And it was Boehners signature achievement yet. He said it was 99% of what he wanted, but it was really what those in both parties who voted for it (Ryan and Pelosi together) didn't want ???

The GOP doesn’t stop anything.
