Until the FRAUD-in-Chief comes clean, nothing gets passed. Then the only other business at hand is overturning his unconstitutional executive orders.

It was for FY 2012 ~ next year!
That means the Republicans can finally work on appropriations over which they have some authority.
The Future Is Now!
If we make the cuts, we don't NEED to raise the ceiling.
Screw Rand Paul; what would be wrong with Jim Demint?
You can shove that idea up your rear end.
People who scrimped and saved and did without during their entire working lives so that they could accumulate a nest egg and enjoy retirement should be hosed out of their social security so SS money is available for the partiers who lived high on the hog and spent beyond their means, and didn't save jack squat for their own retirement?
Yeah, that should go over big.
It’s those darn senators who are the problem. Always. Too many rinos and no ble dogs.
True enough. But if you say "Obama" to them, you get them all running to the voting booth (sometimes three or four times) "Kumme-bye-Ya"ing all over the place with "Hope-y/Change-y" and "Because he's black, we want him back", and "republicans all suck"!
Yep...that's the youth of today!
“I’m beginning to think that - like the president, McConnell is also a d*ck.”

We just put the new Congress in office in January. The previous Democrat run Congress did most of the appropriations for FY 2011. It ends in October and we are in to FY 2012. The Republican House will for the first time since it was elected face entirely new appropriations for that period.
That's where we make CUTS.
Senate trying to figure out a way to originate funding bills, tough one.
I am simply pointing out that, once again, the GOP continues to Epic Fail on message coordination.
Conservatives deserve better. A LOT better. I don’t make phone calls and go door to door at election time for this type of Marx Brothers routine from our own leaders.
Ironically, the first vote I ever cast was for Nixon in ‘72.
The end result is "they" are using social security to subsidize the general funds ~
It's the battle of the generations ~ pre and post Nixon.

I’m a “pre-Nixon”....hell, I’m a “pre-Nixon the first time”!!
It's common in State Constitutions ~ the governors go through and do line item vetos.
We don't have it in the federal constitution.
That makes it unconstitutional. People who keep on top of how legislation, or sausage, is made KNOW THESE THINGS.
McConnell didn't propose something new ~ rather he crafted the same old ideas we had since Nixon, and probably Adams, about Executive involvement in appropriations bills, and he adapted the words to the current situation.
It ain't gonna' happen no how no way ~ and that's true whether it's a good idea or a bad idea.
Used to be a Republican idea. Now it's seen as selling out to the Great Shatan Hissef'.
Oh. that's right I forgot, we can avoid any changes to SS by cutting foreign aid, and NASA, and the mohair subsidy, and the number of Congressional staff.
That should "save Social Security".
For a couple of months.
I agree with your post 100%. The problem always comes down to a handful of cowards and people who are compromised by secret dirt.
I see people everywhere collecting every kind of “disability” possible and living better than those of us who have worked 40 years and put into the system.
Try cutting entitlement programs that are basically “handouts” to those who just prefer not to work.
