The Right Scoop
He's no different now than he was under Bush. Is anyone here actually surprised that Boner...er...I mean Boehner's using the same ol' pro wrestling tactics of the past and trying to get the people to side on something just because the other guy's whining about it? The welfare state needs to be brought to its knees. I'm confident that no matter what happens with this ridiculous charade...our economy's going to go down the tank and people will revolt. So...since there are too many Boners in D.C., we everyday people need to do what we can to prevent falling off the cliff with the rest of this failing state of ours.
Exactly..
Liberal Republican RINO's, apparently do not seem to understand the point- which is, there has got to be a point where "enough is enough". no more..!! That tomorrow never comes, because tomorrow is here.. and that we need to start adhering to the old adage- " An ounce of prevention, is worth a pound of cure".!! and why, because it's true, as in stop spending more than we make and collect in revenue.. and if need more Revenue, then we must grow the US Economy, to get that Revenue, not tax and over regulate the American People, and US Businesses, to death.. As the prevention never seems to come before the cure, with these standard same old politics, with the same old politicians, as usual game.. which is why we had the 2 Nov. 2010 Elections, which were a mandate by the American people, to stop Obama's Socialist-Marxist Policies and Agenda madness..
But it is soon coming in time- the 6 Nov 2012 election, to finish the job, once and for all, and vote to get rid of the Chief Anti-American Liberal Socialist-Marxist Keynesian Wealth Redistributionist, himself.!!
Bingo. I have been saying the exact same thing too. It's just in my gut. There is something fishy here, and it ain't the river.
Boehner, Pluresy, Reid and obama are all the same.
They appear that they are at odds but why does it look like even though they are opposed, in reality they are covering for each other.
The republicans don't want that much of a change because it will affect them once back in power. Who would want to ruin the scheme for themselves?
Along comes the Tea Party, exposes the agenda of both parties, and everyone hates the Tea Party.
"get their a**es in line"? no, it's time to represent their constituents, something cry baby has no idea of, apparently. the plan sucks john, live with it.
The major objection Obama has with Boehner's plan is that it re-evaluates the situation in January, a two-step process. I think this is a good feature to the plan. Extend the debt limit now, pay our bills, make necessary adjustments to get us through the next 5 or 6 months, then re-evaluate , re-calculate and carry on for another period of time.
it's been done enough like that already, time for them to either balance the budget or get the "F" out!
There is a huge difference in what occurred in recent history and what Boehner is thinking about now. In this case I would call it "micro-management"; under Obama I would have to call it "procrastination". There have been plenty of times when I have had to micro-manage my own finances. There is nothing wrong with being prudent. The only problem is, I would want to know who would sit on the committee that recommends the budget savings.
I don't remember who called it, but they were right.....I was being overly optimistic.
Some radio or TV personality had said last week that they would put on a show and argue, but in the end, Boehner would capitulate and give them what they want. His "tough" talk is just posturing to try to feign leadership and gain favor with the base of real conservatives (taking a cue from Trump and others). It's a load of crap, and it seems that the administration's and other Dem's threats are just to provide cover for Boehner while he gives them what they want.
So let's see, in 2012, when we're all to rally dutifully behind our republicans betters so we can get a majority in the senate and hard liner Mitt in the white house...so we can do what again?
Can you imagine the compromising Boehner and McConnell will be able to do in 2013 with all that power?...the Democrats will be unstopable.
Whooo whee, those republicans are just to darn tough to negotiate against. /no s
This is so simple. You have someone addicted to spending. He continually runs his credit cards to the limit. Every time this happens, he chooses the irresponsible path of raising his credit limit rather than doing what is responsible - cutting up the credit cards and living within his means. I want no deal raising the credit limit under any situation. Whatever is promised by politicians will be a lie and lead to betrayal.
It the debt ceiling is hit, then voila! Suddenly Congress must balance its books immediately. Pay the interest on the debt, then with the rest of the money left over, make the hard choices, just like most Americans have to do with their households. Gridlock is wonderul - it led to balanced budgets in the 1990s. Perhaps it can work again.
The only reason they hate it is because it doesn't give Obama cover past 2012 elections. They love the fact that they still get to bankrupt the country.

Most likely it will either be:
The interest debt gets paid (by law). Social security is paid by cashing in treasury funds (separate from the government). The rest Obama has to prioritize and pay as needed. This is what NEEDS to happen.
or
Obama declares we can't pay anything. Obama withholds entitlement checks in order to cause chaos and disorder. The country defaults (Obama should get impeached on this one). He blames it on the Republicans. People riot. Go get your canned goods ready and have a gun at the door.
the republicans or more to the point Boehner should have stuck with Cut cap and balance!!! this idiot keeps talking about default. there will be no default and the white house is saying that now to.
Obviously he thinks siding with Democrats on anything is stupid I have to agree. However his fallacy of thinking that the democrats hate it therefore it is good is false and deviated from fixing our nation.
Yet another reason we have to take over the Republican Party. Boehner is more concerned with scoring political points for the Republican Party than serving this country. We should be more concerned about doing the right thing, and a plan that puts us 7 trillion dollars further into debt over the next 10 years, isn’t even close.
