I like CC&B because it has teeth. I also think Boehner believes
the passage of CC&B will be blamed on Republicans in 2012 fostered by the MSM. Pass Boehners plan and we get Obama for another 4 because the MSM will make him a hero negotiator even though he did squat. I say go for CC&B and let the chips fall where they may.
We need CCB since it cuts enough to avoid a credit downgrade.
I have been pretty happy with Boehner and then he pulls this.
I would have been okay with a smaller plan in the short-term as long as it was tied to a longer-term plan that cuts the NEEDED 4 trillion dollars.
But, this plan doesn’t do that and is TOO small and pathetic. Disappointing, Mr. Boehner.
