Good! Blast the plan away!
They have nothing...no Pontius Pilate Act, no Gang of Six..all there is ...is the Cut Cap and Balance plan.
That’s why Obama is changing course and signalling he will take a short term deal
For those who can’t wade through the hundreds of pages in the Gang of Six Plan,
* It prposes that government spending should be cut by $500 billion immediately as a start on the deficit reduction plan.
* It calls for marginal income tax rates to be lowered and an eventual abolition of the alternative minimum tax.
* Three new tax brackets — 8-12 percent, 14-22 percent, and 23-29 percent — would be introduced in a bid to raise $1 trillion in revenue, the part of the plan that is bound to anger many Republicans in the House.
In the meantime, Tom Coburn said he had returned to the gang because it had a proposal to cut entitlement programs, including slashing $116 billion from healthcare. He called that move “significant.”
Boehner should get that giant gavel and declare “Cut, Cap and Balance” a historic event and that “The Era of Having to Pass a Bill to Know What’s In It” is over.
The devil is always in the details...which is why Obamajaad always makes everything a crisis passed at the nth hour before anybody can analyze the details.
I hope our guys have the strength of mind to hold fast for us.
I just can’t figure out where these people think we OWE them another $1 trillion in taxes to spend. Every dollar confiscated by the government is a dollar that we the people don’t have an opportunity to earn ourselves.
Coburn should be tarred and feathered when he gets back to OK. Same goes for Chambliss from GA and Crapo from Idaho. We expect such dirty tricks from Democrats, but Republicans should know better.
The Gang are Judenrat. Look it up.
Crapo, Chambliss and Coburn should be run out of office by their constituents.
This isn’t the FIRST time these idiots have sucked up to the Dems. They have done it on other issues. They are light weight versions of Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins and Luger.
The way I see this playing itself out is that the “Gang of Six” will ultimately come up with a debt ceiling plan that passes the Senate and is blessed by 0bama. Then the House of Representatives will vote on, and defeat the “Gang of Six” proposal. After defeating the “Gang of Six” proposal, the House will then begin altering that bill via amendments, adding some more spending cuts to it, making more of the Senate’s spending cuts immediate and moving more of the tax increases in the out years. It will ultimately pass the House and be sent back to the Senate. If Boehner handles it right he should be able to make alterations to the “Gang of Six” bill that will be passed in the Senate and signed by 0bama.
This is gonna really tick off a lot of folks on both side of the ideological spectrum but the House can pull off a minor coup de ‘etat while still avoiding the “extreme” label.
President Barack Obama called it “broadly consistent” with his approach
Nobody knows what his approach is no matter what the left wing liberal mouthpiece press says.
