Newt's right. McConell's plan is wrong. Newt and Hannity have the right idea, have a monthly trade-100 billion dollars of increased debt ceiling for 100 billion in budget cuts. That's a much better idea IMHO.

[spokeshave]

No...make the second one $200billions...and the next $300billion

[tallyhoe]

I’d vote for that plan! It is reasonable! Pass one every month 100 billion each time. End of a year you have cut 1.2 trillion dollars!

[TomasUSMC]

then stay on that balanced budget long enough to pay down the national debt...”

...........................
What total B.S. We are 14 trillion in debt, with the Ryan Plan we end up 19 trillion in debt after the first ten years. If we ran 300 billion dollar surplus’ every year, in 30 years we would still be at least 10 trillion in debt. It will not ever get paid. That should not even start to be thought of as the objective.
Freeze the Ceiling. Thats all. Freeze the Ceiling. Afterwards the options available will be realistic.

Has the Newtster condemned anything Bambi it doing? or not doing?

[justa-hairyape]

Don’t give him a penny more in debt ceiling than he accepts in spending cuts ....

So Newt is assuming that spending will increase. Otherwise, why must the debt ceiling be raised ?

I think McConnell is just giving Obama a glimpse of what his political campaign season might look like if he continues to push for tax increases.

Can a President really veto legislation that does *not* pass?

[TomGuy]

The House’s primary power has been ‘the power of the purse’ and McConnell’s plan would basically get rid of the need for even having a Congress.

McConnell’s plan is beyond irresponsible.

Does KY have any measures for recalling an incompetent, imbecilic Senator?
