Budget Negotiators Reach Tentative Deal To Avert Government Shutdown (RINOS Cave, No $100M Cuts)
ABC NEWS ^ | 3/30/2011

Posted on 03/30/2011 4:21:47 PM PDT by GreaterSwiss

ources tell me that budget negotiators on Capitol Hill have tentatively agreed on a deal that would involve at least $33 billion in spending cuts from this year’s budget. That’s $23 billion dollars more than Democrats have previously agreed to in short-term continuingresolutions, and $28 billion less than Republicans previously passed in the House.

Members of the House Appropriations Committee will begin discussing how to hit that number with their Senate counterparts as soon as tonight, and Vice President Biden is heading to Capitol Hill for a 6pm meeting with the Senate Democratic leadership.

They just can’t get past that snatching failure out of the hands of victory can they.

Anyone who thinks the GOP is their friend, representing their interests in DC...needs to go to rehab. More delusional than Charlie Sheen.

Why vote these guys into office if this is the crap you get?

Never again, not for me.

I won't fail to vote, contribute or advocate. I will just NEVER do that for a GOP candidate. I don't care who they are or what they promise.

And YES, I'm perfectly OK if that means 400 dims in the House, 85 in the Senate and POTUS.

Never again.

If they can’t cut more than 1/5000 of our national debt, they are useless.

And it will be time to get a party that can make a difference.

This is just like being trapped on a bus while the driver is blind drunk and careening down the highway. It’s bound to end badly.

The artery is spurting and these clowns are looking for a band-aid and an aspirin. When stupid is genetic and ingrained, it's tough to fix.

Primary Boehner and make Michele Bachmann speaker.

Boehner has just turned out to be a female version of Nancy Pelosi.

Sooner or later these Republicans are going to realize that Tea Party members are going to replace them and not just the Democrats. I am tired of their lack of action. Watch your steps RINOS!

Let’s see the speaker cry about this one.

My government is supposed to represent me. I am their boss. Pass laws that apply to all and not exclude them (h

Doesn’t really matter as the 100 million was a joke as well. When the deficit is 1.4 TRILLION FRICKIN’ DILLARS what does a 100 million cut really do? Answere, not a whole hell of a lot.

Stinking bastards, as long as *Boner* is Speaker expect nothing conservative or fiscally responsible. He would much rather work with the Rats than Tea Party conservatives.

“We will see this is just a discussion!”

-and the source for the report is a Dem.

Still. I wouldn’t be surprised if they take ‘strike 2’.
They sre skittish as all-get-out of taking the blame.

Next time is it. A homer or else.

I’ve felt like that in the past few years too but I’m afraid all that will do will guarantee a repeat of the Ross Perot / Bush / Clinton thing.
