The Boehner bill was horrible. Stick to CCB and force Obama to come up with his own joke of a bill.

“The Boehner bill was horrible. Stick to CCB...”

Yep, and 66% of the public agrees on CCB. Now all we need is a real vote.

[GailA]

only if CCB is amended to force congress to live under Medicare, 2 week vacations, same for the Pres and the Mooch, make the mulit-millionaire Pres buy their family clothes and pay for campaign stops. And KICK every ILLEGAL off every entitlement, and cut every program in the Pig Book, then I'll start believing them.

From the Pig Book

When Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) released the first Congressional Pig Book in 1991, the group was a lonely voice in the pork-barrel wilderness. There was only modest objection to the 546 projects worth $3.2 billion, and “earmark” was virtually unknown. The one constant since then has been the undisputed reign of the King of Pork, Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.).

After Republicans took over Congress in 1994, pork-barrel projects started to be used as a currency of re-election. Over the following decade, they became a currency of corruption, and the explosion in earmarks to their peak at $29 billion in 2006 helped erase the Republican majority. The 9,129 projects in the 2010 Congressional Pig Book represent a 10.2 percent decline from the 10,160 projects identified in fiscal year 2009, and the $16.5 billion in cost is a 15.5 percent decrease from the $19.6 billion in pork in fiscal year 2009.

Quid pro quo donor palm greasing, they have built into every program.
