Nice try. But you specifically claimed that Boehner protected military pay in the House bill. Obviously he did not.
Yo Okie01, now he did or he didn’t. You can’t have it both ways.
It’s been four months since conservatives took back the House with a foolproof majority. Including the charade of the budget “negotiations”, name me one thing that Boehner has accomplished for America.
We still have Onadacare and Onada’s cripple America energy policy. We’re still funding NPR. It’s not even clear to me that the current stopgap budget really does defund tax payer funded abortion. EPA continues to run amok and Marxist teachers unions continue to control educating our children—from day care through college.
Please, tell me how Boehner has made America better. You could tell me that he and the House cannot fix everything all at once. I agree with that. But I don’t see that he’s even made a start. Heck, instead of the $100 billion in cuts that Boehner boasted at the beeginning of the budget dance we got $38 billion. As I said, that isn’t even a credible start.
The House passed it. The Senate failed to do so. The President threatened to veto it if it came to his desk.
The House, by itself, cannot pass legislation. They did what they could.
Obviously, it is the Senate and the President who writes the checks that failed the troops. Why are you unable to admit that?
Especially when, in the event of a government shutdown, it is the President who determines who is and is not "non-essential". And who will be paid...and who won't.
