Looks like Obama got caught with his hand in the cookie czar.

Does this include defunding all their staffs, and their perks, and their offices, and their office machines, etc. etc.?

It’s a start, but ALL of these unelected non-cabinet members should be fired. Let Obama pay their salaries if he can’t do without their advice.

An amendment was also passed today that forbids the EPA from regulating ‘dangerous’ gasses. The EPA considers CO2 a ‘dangerous’ gas. TFB, EPA.

YES!!!!

Don't stop now -- DE-FUND the rest.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2623044/posts

The House of Representatives "holds the purse strings" of this nation. If they refuse to fund something, it withers and dies. The members of the House, our representatives, need to be told that we expect them to de-fund certain programs and agencies; they are, after all, our representatives.

First Rule of ‘Life On The Job’ - Never, EVER, anger the wonderful folks who pay you.

Congress learned that at the last election, and being “compassionate conservatives” that they are, are now teaching Obama and the Czars.

Isn’t education wonderful?
