Add that together with the fact that every single plan proposed by either party raises the debt ceiling, including the vaunted “cut, cap and balance” bill, which would raise the debt ceiling by $2.4 TRILLION dollars, and it doesn’t take a genius to understand what this has been about all along.

I’ve told folks throughout this charade: There’s only one thing you have to watch, and that is the total amount the legislation raises the debt ceiling.

Everything else is nothing but smoke, designed to provide somebody political cover for the next election cycle.

Did ya hear the caller on Rush today informing that cap, trade & cut was still on the books in the Senate? Bhoeners bill will go down in flames, and they'll be faced with the ONLY legislation still alive...

Rush was saying how great that was.

The argument was made it was marginally better than Bhoener's plan, but the essential fact it IS better in that it has the plausible outcome a decade or two from now of a government livin within its means.

Rush isn't end-all-be-all 'bout nuthin'. He probably don't konw what the hell he's talkin 'bout in the first place for at least half the time; he's an entertainer first and foremost. People should start getting over themselves concerning all these talkin' heads.

Question is: is anybody interested in living in a country where the government lives within its means?

Do you have the same opinion about the Penney Plan? Is there any proposal already put forth by any legislator that you would endorse? or did you already answer my questions in your last post, which I missed before I posted?
