Last night, in his response to Bowbama, Boehner sounded so terrific! What a difference a few hours makes.....
Boehner HAD to know this wouldn’t fly.
So what’s his game?
What are the Vegas odds that boner (pronounced “bay-ner) will cry when he announces he was forced to cave? I’d say at least 10-1.
And the news at the top of the hour said the Rats, the vermin they are, are spreading the word that SS and Medicare charges won't be paid after July 2. They are planning to panic the 47% who don't pay taxes into the system but who get the rewards. GRRRRR....
It does not take a brain doctor to see the writing on the wall.
They say, and I believe, past history is the best indicator of future decisions.
Anybody with the ability to look at the recent CR Deal by Bonehead could predict what this “Deal” would be like. And guess what, it’s a sham too.
It really is the DC Elites on both sides vs America
Not yet! The Tea Party congresscritters are holding to their promise of decreasing spending and are causing headaches for the establishment Republicans.
It’s not just the GOP Establishment, it’s the entire “DC Establishment”
It seems the lapping up of left-wing propaganda is alive and well on FR these days.

No, most of us aren’t falling for your left-wing propaganda.
Absitively!
Moveon.org warns Dems if they vote for Boehner’s plan
AND
Heritage and others warned Republicans they would include it in their scorecard.
And then there is this

No,
U don’t get it. It doesn’t matter if it’s 850 billion or 2 Zillion.
It is NOT binding for a future congress. It’s a sham, just like the CR Deal. Bonehead said he had the votes to pass it. NOT!

Jim DeMInt: “Boehner’s plan won’t even come close to balancing budget, as the debt is expected to grow by as much as $10T over next decade.”
read the letter from Real Conservatives....well at least for this go around.

So that little dog-and-pony show Boehner and Obama put on last night was all for OUR little benefit?
DC is a freakin’ cesspool. I am so tired of these RinoCrat clowns peeing all over Americans and telling them its raining out!!
Some posters here who have been defending Bonehead still refuse to see the sham, even after the CBO has scored Boneheads Deal. A lot of us have been warning that this too would be a sham bill. And it is.
Looks like Allen West and Paul Ryan should have held their support until the CBO numbers came out. They look like fools now.
850 Billion over 10 years? And we all know these are phantom cuts.
More and more people will start to see through you if you keep this up. So far only about 3 or 4 posters know something is off with you.
Dear Colleagues:
We write you today in strong opposition to the Debt Limit extension you will be considering in the House tomorrow. For many reasons, we cannot support this bill and urge you to protect the American taxpayers by strongly opposing this bill.
1) The bill will lead to an increase of our national debt of at least $7 trillion in the next 10 years, assuming the maximum cuts in the bill actually materialize. Using less optimistic CBO numbers, new debt could easily approach $10 trillion.
2) The first year “cuts” are inadequate. The first year is the only really enforceable number without a Balanced Budget Amendment. The first year cuts are a paltry $7 billion.
3) The bill would clearly produce a downgrade to our AAA rating, as reported by multiple sources today. To raise the debt ceiling without adequate reforms would do more harm to our economy than not raising it at all.
4) The bill does not make specific cuts, so it is impossible to assess where the cuts will come from or whether they are gimmicks.
5) The budget never balances under this scenario.
6) The special committee process set up under this bill could fast track potential tax increases. Despite what some have said, there are no protections in the bill against tax increases.
7) The bill clearly does not fulfill the principles of “Cut, Cap and Balance”. Saying that it does is a gross distortion and attempt to peel off votes of skeptical members.
There remains one way to raise the debt ceiling that can both solve our long term debt crisis and avert a short term down grade – passage of Cut Cap and Balance or similar legislation that specifically ties the debt limit increase to a BBA. We urge you to hold the line for real reform, to vote no on the Debt Limit extension, and to urge House leaders to stand up for taxpayers and our economic future.
I think Boehner just HAD to know this wouldn’t fly. Hell, 6 billion? It seems obvious he did it on purpose.
So I’m left wondering what may be going on.
Boehner had done well in this negotiation until, it seems, now.
We shall see.
