TWINS, whose minds think alike.....and it is all about remaining YOUR MASTER.

You will notice NOT 1 of either the House or Senate plans have REFORM in them, not 1 illegal kicked off.

Not 1 quid pro quo 45+ year of palm greasing eliminated,

And the MASTERS will NOT place themselves and the Pres under Medicare, it isn’t good enough for their ‘exalted’ selfs.

All we are being offered are PHONY cuts, more taxes, and Blank Checks for 0, while the Mooch is planning her next tax payer funded vacation.

McConnell: "...waste deep in the Big Muddy..."
Reid: "Push on!"

[SteamShovel]

Reid and McConnell have one of the most functional professional relationships

And the RINOs wonder why we are upset with them.....

.....Dealing with the left means compromising with the left.

.....Compromising with the left means giving them EVERYTHING they WANT while never getting what you NEED.

You cannot "deal" with the left, you must deny them and push for what is necessary.

I like the idea that Boehner should simply adjourn congress until August 3rd. They’ve got two bills to them already. That’s what they get, period.

I was going to say. the only difference I see between the two is their ties. They look almost exactly alike.

Reid could benefit from a few Big Macs though. (with supersized fries. No apples)

Oh, Lord, you are killing me...I’m dieting, have to, as the extra 20 lbs is not helping my multiple muscle conditions. It takes weeks of going hungry, to move a couple of pounds. And no I can’t afford those fancy meal plans, 1 week of them is my month’s food bill. Fixed incomes are not friendly to extras.

And I could eat my weight in hamburgers and fries easily.

[GeronL]

It is pretty clear that the Democrats refuse to compromise

Thanks for tipping me on this, RummyChick - less than $2 trillion in cuts over 10 years - wow, boys, knock yourselves out!!! You are right-the FIX IS IN.
