And now we face the final test: the debt ceiling. Will we or won’t we stop the spending madness? Will the Republicans enact the cuts they’ve promised, or will they now be the ones to kick the can, piling evermore trillions of dollars of debt on their own grandchildren?
By every indication that’s precisely what they plan to do. The signal has come from President Trump, from Speaker Ryan, and from Majority Leader McConnell. The debt ceiling will be raised and no fiscal sanity will be restored.
There is no difference between Republicans and Democrats. Put them together. They are the swamp.
Just as Republicans have the power to enact the agenda they’ve pledged in toto, so too do they now own the federal government, in toto. It’s no longer Obamacare. It’s GOPcare. It’s no longer crazy liberal Democratic spending. It’s crazy liberal Republican spending. It’s no longer socialist Democratic Party taxation, it’s socialist Republican Party taxation. All the legislation authorizing all these programs, all the graft, all the waste, all the obscenity, all the immorality, and where Planned Parenthood is concerned, all the killing — all of it is now formally authored by the Republican Party.
Come the Congressional elections next year, and the presidential election in 2020, the Grand Old Party will once again bellow its hallowed promises. But this time it won’t work. This time there will be no straw men to blame. This time their voters will know those hallowed promises are not even hollow promises. They are lies.
These voters are tasting betrayal. They will not vote to swallow more vomit.
We are watching the GOP systematically committing suicide.

It’s not just the political parties that are collapsing. It’s the country. The news makes it sound as if we’re already fighting a new civil war. What is happening simply cannot be sustained for much longer.
all pol potties deserve a slow death...maybe even, say...10 minutes or so!

It is time to simply do that great more work at the local and primary level to help put the Uniparty of Criminal Government out to pasture.
Wanna bet?
What I find really interesting is that so many people talk about the economy getting better. I’m not so sure about that. Sure the numbers seem to be creeping north, but, something doesn’t seem right. I speak from experience.
I was laid off from CSX Railroad earlier this year. I was in the first batch of 1000. Around 1300 more followed. The new CEO, said to expect at least 700 layoffs before the years end. When he’s done, he’ll trim the headcount down about 10-15% to boost the profit margins. Sad, that the railroad was going to lose/turnover, about 30-40% within in the few years due to retirements. I guess Wall St and Paul Hilal couldn’t wait that long. And the company had a record profits last year.
After talking to friends and family, I find it interesting that so many people that I know, know so many that are losing jobs due to layoffs/cost cutting. It would appear that the shareholders/stockholders mean more, than the people doing the actual work. It’d be great to see one of the big shareholders of CSX get in a locomotive and get it moving down the track or weld some rail together in the dead of winter. So, at the end of the day, I’m not seeing things as rosy as others, but that’s my problem, not anyone else’s.
The “new” economy and it’s enablers, with corporate welfare to guys like Musk, to corporate welfare to Wall St, the big banks, obamacare, insurance companies, refugees, illegals, etc etc etc, are destroying this country from the inside. Housing is becoming more unaffordable, as the developers/builders with their cheap labor from Mexico, don’t pay as much, but they charge more for their products. Which, more often than not, have lots and lots of problems, right after the home warranties run out.
The only thing that could destroy this country is rot from the inside. And the cause of that rot can be pinpointed to 2 places: Washington, DC and Wall St.
This one is not even worth “pretend” Rama. They will pass it, and then they all go home “outraged!” About it.
Bunch of losers.
Where has Bozell been for the last two decades? Republicans controlled most of the Federal government and oversaw the reckless fiscal irresponsibility of the GWB administration.
Not only is the RINO party a “dead dodo” but so are the phoney “conservative intellectuals” like Bozell!
Except, no career politician can survive the cut-throat world of politics without support of the ultra rich donor class. Getting rid of the uniparty career politicians is probably wishful thinking and a dream.
THEY ARE ALL GLOBALISTS! Every one of the career politicians,
including Kasich, Bush, Rubio, Ryan, Flake, McCain, McConnell,
even Cruz etc etc etc.Some of them may not wish to be cheap
express globalists, but they can not disobey the donor class,
else their political careers are toast.
Once you understand this, the fog is lifted on all their actions.
Why do you think we have $500,000,000,000 deficit EVERY
frickin year with China? Why are US corporations moving
plants to Mexico? Why Cruz was pushing for 500% increase
in H1B visa’s for cheap IT workers from India & others?
Why do we engage in foreign nation building? (higher profits
for donor class businesses). Why do you think are we importing
one million LOW skilled and LOW net worth LEGAL immigrants
EVERY year? Why they never built the Wall, and will not fund
the wall?
Bkmk
I used to think that talk of the “uniparty” was an exaggeration, but that increasingly seems to be an apt description. The only time Trump ever seemed to get bi-partisan support was when he supported extending our futile efforts in Afghanistan.
You people are a disgrace. 2010--"Give us the House and we'll do wonders!", so we did. 2012--"Give us the Senate and we'll do wonders!", so we did. 2016--""Give us the WH and we'll do wonders!", so we did. We've waited 7 years for SOMETHING--ANYTHING--from you inept legislators and we've got nothing. You are a waste of oxygen...especially you McConnell and Ryan!
GOP = Gutless Old Party. Nothing but a bunch of political cowards with virtually no principles, convictions or values.
Maybe they had it right the first time when we were a one party system.
Railroads are dying. Natural gas is replacing coal. Coal is shipped by rail. Gas is shipped by pipelines.
Find a job in the growing gas industry
They'll be the ones to kick the can, piling evermore trillions of dollars of debt on their own grandchildren.
We, the people, can do with less and less money, but, they, the elitists, can't.
