Enough for it to pass, and that is all that matters.

We got screwed on the spending side, yes, in exchange for what? Rearranging taxation deck chairs on the Titanic. Spending is all that matters! Because they’re gonna tax us anyway, duh! They own the freaking money supply. All this compromise does is ensure the extra whatever tax hikes on the books will allow them to spend that much more on top of all the other money we don’t have.

I’m not saying the tax cut fights of the last few decades were meaningless. But they always should be viewers as means to an end, the end being smaller government. Instead we got backed into defending tax cuts as the best way to raise revenue. And we wonder why Democrats beat the hell out if us. We are the Stupid Party.

How many promises did he break in his first term, and what did it matter? It matters even less now that he’s a lame duck.

You should include ALL of the GOP members of the U.S. Senate who need to have primary opponents, too!
