Mitch McConnell, the Senate Republican leader, says he “burst into laughter” Thursday when Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner outlined the administration proposal for averting the fiscal cliff. He wasn’t trying to embarrass Geithner, McConnell says, only responding candidly to his one-sided plan, explicit on tax increases, vague on spending cuts.
Geithner’s visit to his office left McConnell discouraged about reaching a “balanced” deal on tax hikes and spending reductions designed to prevent a shock to the economy in January. “Nothing good is happening” in the negotiations, McConnell says, because of Obama’s insistence on tax rate hikes for the wealthy but unwillingness to embrace serious spending cuts
Geithner suggested $1.6 trillion in tax increases, McConnell says, but showed “minimal or no interest” in spending cuts. When congressional leaders went to the White House three days after the election, Obama talked of possible curbs on the explosive growth of food stamps and Social Security disability payments. But since Geithner didn’t mention them, those reductions appear to be off the table now, McConnell says.

Neither party wants a deal. They want to abrogate responsibility and allow the cuts to occur. “wasn’t us”... will be the response from the entrenched cowards on both sides of the aisle.
The local sex offender (violent offense) is on disability. Says he got a "brain injury" in an accident. Still drives, still does stuff, does not look brain injured, just conniving.
bttt
Newt was brilliant with Hannity tonight. He has specialized experience and expertise having been there done that. And he is smart enough to articulate it.
Unlike sports TFAGS (Typical Fooball Analyst Guy)**
**that is a phrase coined by Colin Cowherd of ESPN for retired football players who get paid for saying “If the Rams can score more points than the Colts, they’ll win” (yucking it up and manly backslapping )
“Rethink the role of the legislative branch. When you have a serious proposal email or fax it to us.
Obama can’t spend a penny unless Congress gives it to him.”
Try this: ( sung to the tune of walkin in a winter wonderland)
Walkin in a Winter Wonderland.
Leftists sing, are you listening,
In Bohner’s brain, Reid is pi$$ing
A beautiful sight,
We’re happy tonight.
Walking in Obama’s wonderland.
Gone away is the budget,
All we can do, is try to nudge it
Obama sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in Obama’s wonderland.
In the meadow we can build Rice’s snowman,
Then pretend that she is Secretary State
She’ll say: Are you married?
We’ll say: No man,
But you can do the job
If thats your fate.
Later on, we’ll conspire,
As we dream by Reichstag fire
To face unafraid,
The treason we’ve made,
Walking in Obama’s wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he’s Obama’s clown
We’ll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the Constitution knocks Obama down.
When in debt, ain’t it thrilling,
Though your wallet gets a chilling
We’ll frolic and play,in the fascist way,
Walking in Obama’s wonderland.
I think it’s high time we “Thelma & Louise” this thing!
I stated this before I saw Newt on Hannity last night. Newt is probably smarter than I.
Here’s the real question, would that information have even mattered? Was it enough that the Dems could dance around it and make Pubbies look like fools again? They always cover their tracks quite well and now, well they’ve brainwashed a significant portion of America so that common sense and logic are alien concepts.
The democrats are exceedingly good a lying. sadly this is an extremely easy fact to demonstrate. We could and should make a list going over their every lie from the last 50 years.
We should republish that list every-time they tell us a new one.
Hey. We won. Laws of math and economics no longer apply. Even physics don’t pertain to us. Here, watch me climb out of this skyscraper window and walk on air, because Tinkerbell sprinkled pixy dust on me, and I’m thinking happy thoughts.
Thank you my God, yea, my Christ!
Oooh catchy. :)
Now disability is every obese lazy person who has a “backache”. They are everywhere if you start to notice. Disability should be separated from old folks SS, and it should be scrutinized hard. The default should be to nearly always assign them a job doing some menial, non strenuous task that they will not enjoy. If they refuse, no disability check.

I am an RN. I can confirm this 100%.

Don’t forget all the drug addicts that are “Manic Depressive”
“explicit on tax increases, vague on spending cuts.”....The liberal mantra.
Since > 1/2 of the US Senate are now Millionaires, why not cut out all of their salaries AND benefits until The US National Debt has decreased, year to year, for two years in a row?
Then give them a 10 % allowance to be paid back if the next two years are higher than the previous two years.
