Not much, I'm guessing, when the full accounting of this "deal" is done.
Once again conservatives have been silenced by our own majority!
Who was the Freeper that posted the “Thank you John Boehner” thread last week? Not sarcasm.
I read someone it’s more like 28 billion.
Either way, the Republicans got played again. I am absolutely disgusted by the lack of leadership and the weakness of this party. It’s embarrassing and infuriating.
I’m not surprised by it, seems to be expected these days.
The GOP is once again squandering the advantage handed to them by the American people. They ought to be ashamed of themselves.
Cut, cut, cut!
Who believes ANYTHING coming out of DC anyway?
Were there cuts? Real Cuts? I wonder.
I have a feeling that this was a typical DC “cut”: Plan to spend $100, only spend $75. You cut spending $25!
Has anyone seen details of this bill yet?
This “it's the best we could get” is getting a bit old since we all know Boehner, Reid and Obama had already worked out the theatrics.
The big giveaway was them trying to make Planned Parenthood into the pretend roadblock.
"Still, Obama and his Democratic allies accepted $600 million in cuts to a community health centers programs, $414 million in cuts to grants for state and local police departments, and a $1.6 billion reduction in the Environmental Protection Agency budget, almost $1 billion of which would come from grants for clean water and other projects by local governments and Indian tribes. The National Institutes of Health, which funds critical medical research, would absorb a $260 million cut, less than 1 percent of its budget, instead of the $1.6 billion cut sought by House Republicans. Family planning programs would bear a 5 percent cut rather than being completely eliminated."
I’ve stopped caring. Once the SHTF I’ll be ready. Politicians care about soundbytes and votes. That’s it. Anyone who tells you anything else is selling something.
If the Republicans were smart (big IF), then they would put the executive branch on notice that there would be no raise in the debt ceiling until the next fiscal year starts, so Obama will have to make ends meet with the funds he has until October 1.
Boehner was PLAYED!
Republican leadership SUCKERS!
Urge more republicans to vote no!
Oust Bohner and replace his weepy crying butt with Paul Ryan.
Republicans and Democrats alike, take note. If the budget doesn’t get under control REAL SOON, you will need a new job next year.
They just keep on trying the patience of the American voter. If they (Dems AND Repubs) thought the Tea Party backlash was harsh this last November, wait ‘til next time!
Well .... The GOP should go back to HR1 and make passage of another $40b in cuts ... AND repeal and defund Obamacare ... the price of the debt ceiling increase.
Just keep working. . . ha ha ha hahahahaha. . .
Time for the march on Washington D.C. yet?
Played or not played. If demoncrats and the “liberal agenda” want to step all over cuts no matter how small, step all over the constitution well, there WILL be a battle in the end, a mighty bloody one most probably.
The best of economic experts as( I am not one just was told this by a pretty good one that had a “round table down you at or around UCI)I’ve been told, America if it continues DOWN this spiraling path, Obamacom and his com-cronies will have enslaved America to communist interests, defaulted on all loans and ruined the whole infrastructure of America; thus one of two things may happen, a brutal war like in umm Libya, or Greece, or past days of Argentina, or America wakes up which the latter shows not likely soon enough.
Now I’m just the messenger, two years from now give or take( this was 1.5 years ago) they said,”... four years on the outside bubble.” Whatever that means. If totus wins a second election, if we make it to that date, well, they didn’t elaborate how it’ll happen; I wouldn’t understand all of it anyway, but it sounded to me like a catastrophe to the nth degree. Not many country’s in the world would come to our aide, umm maybe none.
