How stupid does he think we are?
There should be no need for an increase....period.
Cracks are forming folks, don’t give up and don’t give in.
And what exactly does this mean?
If I need to stay in my budget and cut back expenses dramatically, why don’t they? Make them CUT!
It’s probably what Thanksgiving and Christmas is best used for to these jerks. So they can trot out “how can you be so heartless”memes
How stupid does he think we are?
A short-term deal?
Why?
All that would mean is a repeat in a few weeks.
The House, Senate and White House have been doing this dance since 2009. Budget crisis, temp deal, new budget crises, temp deal.
I'd like to hold the line, but it has to be done delicately or else we'll be the bad guys.
President Pushover just red-lined the red line.
Of course they will. Just setting up the next crisis for which they can blame Republicans.
Lower the damn debt. Get rid of Head start, the EPA etc and piggy pensions for lawmakers. Let them get a real job.
“My final offer is this: nothing.”
How about a real budget dbag? What is the longest this country has gone without a budget? This has got to be close to a record?
The Senate chose not to vote to authorize that money to be spent, because it did not include money for ObamaCare. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says that he wants a "clean" bill from the House of Representatives..."
Thomas Sowell
The republican house should pass a law that says that the nations debt must be served. Only after all other sources of funds have been exhausted, including the salaries of congress and their staff, and the salaries of all administration employees have been exhausted may the talk of default even be addressed.
Bonehead already signalled a deal on this, I don’t see any drama on this issue
No deal, the federal government needs to get its financial house in order, just like everyone else who has to adhere to a budget. Outlaw lobbyists, and learn to spend less than you take in, and eliminate redundant services that the States already possess. If you don’t miss 90 percent of the govrnment during a shutdown, you DON’T NEED THEM!
Any “short term deal” would be hailed by the Democrats as a win. The Republicans would be painted by the press/MSM as having given in to commonsense, given in to reality, and the Democrats would be painted as brilliant leaders having defeated the rebellious dunces of the TEA Party, and the Conservatives of the Republican Party.
Absolutely no compromise can be submitted in any way, shape, or form. No negotiation with the Democrats period.
This is what this is about. Trying to trick the Republicans into negotiating while they the Democrats will actually not.
Trying to paint a picture for the public of the Republicans on hands and knees crawling to the Democrats begging their forgiveness for trying to do what’s right for the country. It’s another OLD Democrat trick.
Just enough to get them past the elections. Hope the Republicans don't cave.
No deal! Dems must have had checked their internal polling and KNOW they are losing. Keep going..let the mid-terms sort this out.
