“Reid says he’s waiting on Boehner to tell him ‘path forward’ on debt”
Reid couldn’t find ‘forward’ on any path of any kind let alone a path on spending.
All Reid has to do is listen to the populace shouting “cut spending”.
But Reid is deaf as well as stupid.
You can add your comment on that site to mock Reid for being so clueless and not putting cut, cap and a balance on the Senate calendar.
What a dolt Reid is. There is a solution, there is a way forward - cut, cap and balance.
I believe they just saw what can pass in the house.
Boehner should tell Harry he’s waiting for Obamas’ plan.
But, but, but... pass Aug 2 and we'll default. Ofraudo is sure of it.
The path forward: Cut, slash, and eviscerate the M*****F****** Federal government.
It has NOTHING to do with the debt ceiling debate.
Actually, now that more of the details are starting to come out, it will be around $1.2 Trillion in cuts, and $3 Trillion in tax hikes...
“In case Senator Reid didnt notice, a bipartisan ‘Gang of 234’ just sent him the way forward.”
Ha!! bipartisan gang of 234. Now that’s classic right there. Love this guy.
You know Reid is seething that he can only act on what the House sends him.
Take Obama's 2011 budget...
eliminate all the federal departments that should be done at the state level and eliminate the federal departments that are not constitutional and better done by private industry:
EPA -11.2
Commerce -11.5
Interior -14
Nasa -17.9
International Assistance -24.3
Energy 44.4
Housing & Urban Dev -53
Transportation -87
Education - 94.3
Labour 117
Agriculture -147
Health & Human Services -934.4
There you have it boys and girls, 1 Trillion 555 Billion dollars in savings the first year alone. Multiply that by 10 years and everyone who paid into Social Security could be made whole with interest!
Then take every other budget item on that pie chart and cut it by half and this country would be the envy of the world.
Dear U.S. Senate:
Please check your In box.
Yours,
U.S. House
Boehner should immediately come forward and say that the Democrats and Harry Reid haven’t put forth a budget for over 900 days and for Harry Reid to say now that he’s waiting on the Republicans is the absolute height of hypocrisy.
Our Tea Party Congressman wrote that he was not for giving Obama another few billion to blow; and didn’t vote for the bill. Said he was for most of the bill’s provisions; just not for giving Obama another load of cash to squander.
This needs to become a standard Republican phrase. As in, "The 'Gang of 234' has sent the Senate a clear signal...".
