Disagree, it is not up to “the House” (Boehner) to manage total budgetary
spending reductions, program by program, within a narrow window of discretionary spending...which I believe is only about 20% of the entire “budget”, or less. This leaves 80%of the "budget" (entitlements) untouchable- how does THAT get us out of the hole?

I say “budget” because there is no “budget”

Remember, the Senate has not exercised its role, and has not sent the House a budget for over 3 years.

This is why Boehner keeps saying the Senate needs to do its J-O-B before the House can do its J-O-B instead of making everything up as they go along.

This issue is way beyond a couple of Congressmen trying to make backroom deals at midnight while the adhd narcissist manchild plays golf and abuses Air Force One traveling on a perpetual campaign/vacation lifestyle

-——how does THAT get us out of the hole?-——

For the immediate present, the hole is not at issue. What is at issue is managing the sequestration cuts to prevent vindictive cuts.

It amounts to kicking the President in the ass and forcing benign cuts

The hole is to be delt with before the end of the month
