The Lord tells us patience is a virtue.

Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

They’re all desperately trying to avoid any meaningful cuts now in favor of undefined cuts sometime in the distant future. Gotta have that pork to buy votes.

Watching the Boehner, Pelosi, Reid and Onada budget dance is more painful than having to watch Helen Thomas pole dance—in the nude.

He also cursed the barren fig tree, and tells us to let the dead bury the dead.

I like the April 2012 date...right about tax time, and with the many surprises in the tax code obamacare has in store. But if the “cuts” are a trillion over ten years or some such—fergeddahboudit. That’s chump change, even if it happens, which btw it won’t.

Just heard it on Rush and he is also correct, who cares about the Asian market.

Nobody but traders really cares about the "Asian market," mainly because the "Asian market" follows the American markets it doesn't lead them.

It's always been about the votes. Everything else is hot air.

Thank you for that note of sanity.

He gets up there and has the nerve to tell us who make a wee bit more than 250K that we should be thrilled to be taxed more when 57% pay zero state or fed taxes...and we should all have skin in the game and sacrifice for the good of all ( nice Commie sentiment) but he goes off and has a BIG birthday bash, trips galore and Wed nite parties at the White Hut...he does not even lead by example..What a punk!

You will need patience. You cannot overturn Obama’s policies with him in the White House and you cant run the government with a mere House majority. Nov 2012!

I remember when Bush had it all and spending was through the roof. Bush never met a spending bill he didn't like. You gotta show folks that you'll fight now with what you have—the House—because we already know what's like when they have everything and don't fight at all.

I agree.

It is better to have control of the House then parity in the Senate.

Pass it through the House, call it a day, stand back and watch the Democrats freak out.

I think you're right.

The only thing I don't like is the idea of 6 Pubs and 6 Rats determining the fix for the next increase. I understand the politics of it. I just don't like it.

I applaud the work Boehner is doing. As much as people want more progress in tackling the spending, we are still one election away...

EXACTLY.

Boehner to this point has been a pleasant surprise.

The RATs didn't get us here with one vote. We won't roll the government machine back with one vote.

Why haven't they defunded it?

How?

Certainly something to be expected from El Duce...

Steve King from Iowa says that would be grounds for inpeachment.

Heads up. Rush just said that Boehner is calling into the show again today (Tuesday), scheduled for sometime before 10AM Pacific.

Bush was not a fiscal conservative. We had a House leadership that was asleep at the wheel.

Solution: Nominate fiscal conservatives. Primary RINOs.

But dont expect the moon when Obama is in the WH.
We need a fiscal conservative President.

“You gotta show folks that you’ll fight now with what you have—the House—”
I agree. The first debt ceiling increase with spending cuts ... it’s a start.

"Steve King from Iowa says that would be grounds for inpeachment."

That's accurate, I think.

But, nothing will come of it so long as the Senate is controlled by Democrats and RINOs.

Sorry folks, but Boehner is lying. Boehner is in the end, a weak man...

Make your case.

Questions. Would any politician lie to Rush Limbaugh? Would any politician lie to the USA citizens?

It won't happen. One, our military will step in first. Second, what we are seeing is the last gasps of a dead political philosophy, socialism...

From day one I've thought of this as Carter's second term. Saw an artice recently that speculated Oblama was more Gorbachev than Carter...fighting to stave off collapse of a corrupt system.
