RE: This leaves the only solution as CCB?
Two huge hurdles to this : The Harry Reid majority Senate, and Obama’s VETO PEN.
The thing here is that the House Republicans produced something that is reasonably responsible—It’s not everything I want, but it’s a start.
It now puts the Senate and his Zero-ness in the position of being naysayers with nothing substantive to offer in return.
In all, a good move I think.
Doesn't this BS plan have a huge hurdle in the House?
Two huge hurdles for whom? In the absence of any Dem plan from either Reid or Obama, should the GOP just negotiate against itself or raise the debt ceiling without any cuts? The Reps should say there will be no further negotiations or discussions until the Dems come up with a written proposal that can be scored. The House has passed a budget and a bill to address the budget deficits and national debt. The Dems have not even proposed a budget in almost three years. The ball is in their court.
At which point the 0 Democrats are responsible for putting the USA into "fiscal Armageddon".
Time for Republicans to learn Patton's dictum
NEVER take council of your fears.
