With the Fiscal Cliff behind us, it is time to focus our country on fixing the economy. In the last 4 years, in an effort to help the economy, spending has exceeded revenue by $1T each year. Our National Debt at $16T exceeds our annual GDP. Government spending can help economic growth at times, but this government spending has not.
While the President enjoys his victory lap, it is time for the adults to stand up and focus the nations mind on our fiscal house. Like any good plan, simplicity of purpose gets a lot accomplished. The President does not want to debate Raising the Debt Ceiling. Thats fine, let us not debate it. Instead, debate how to cut spending. Not if we are going to cut spending, but how to cut spending.
The Speaker of the House needs to send a simple message to everyone, and not waiver one inch on his core point:
We Will Not Increase the Debt Ceiling Without Spending Cuts!

too bad “we” doesn’t involve Congress
The Speaker must FOCUS like a laser on a single issue and come up with a very focused statement! "DEBT TRAP" or "DEBT WISH" it must be something that can focus on the NEGATIVE nature in a short and snappy soundbite type of way. It must convey the evil nature of what Ubama is strapping to the future generations of our Republic.
Did you see how the media started naming snow storms? They personify a storm to give it more evilness. Why do they name hurricanes? Sandy, Katrina... EVIL storms. Boehner must do the same with the Debt Ceiling! Form a group and determine what to name Ubama's debt baby, then focus like a laser on the evil nature of Ubama's agenda of spending like a crack-whore needing another fix!
Social Democrat definition of expenditure cut: Decrease in planned deficit budget expenditures. (It doesn’t exist)
Social Democrats are laughing at us because they haven’t submitted a budget in four years and the so-called cuts in planned expenditures is the biggest behind the scene “wink” b/s joke at the annual correspondents dinner.
Every conversation between Repubs and Dems should begin, “Here is the list of items we want cut.” It should be brought up on the floor of the House every day!

There is first the small matter of the 2014 mid-terms, before we get around to immaculating Hillary.
I would love to see Boehner and a host of other House RINOs sent to the slaughterhouse on primary day, replaced by a huge Tea Party contingent of fierce conservatives. Try to wipe us out, will ya?
Gee, there is also one-third of the Senate up for grabs in 2014, too. Oh what fun! Is Harry Reid on the menu?
