Fail....
EPIC FAIL
and our future
Down the drain.
Republicans have CHANGED NOTHING
There is no hope left.
I disagree. The GOP owns ONLY the House of Reps. The Dems own the 2 power positions, the Senate and the Presidency. The Senate is more powerful than the House because of its filibuster/super-majority rules, and the President is more powerful because of the 2/3 requirement for an over-ride of a veto.
To get 33 Billion is peanuts in comparison to the debt, and it is a failure for the nation, but for the GOP it is better than getting nothing when they own just one of three prongs of the legislative process.
As always, the issue is getting a controlling majority in the Senate, which is 61 CONSERVATIVES, not just Republicans, and the Presidency.
That is what is so tragic about John McCain as the last nominee and the refusal of the Rove/Bush White House to defend itself.
They handed over the Senate and the Presidency.
Almost as if someone didn't want conservative change, so it was sabotaged.
I’ll go first.....and call BS.
There has been no evidence to support this.
Thirty three billion in cuts from this year’s budget. That is about like my decision to cut...oh, fourteen cents out of my personal budget for this year?
When talking about the budget deficit they should stop talking about the actual amount in numbers and start talking about the amount in shares of the total deficit.
In this case we are talking about a mere 2.5% of the amount Congress is overspending this year alone.
