Its not over. There has NOT been a deal yet. There is only agreement between the "leaders" of the Senate and the "leaders" of the House. The House of Representatives has not voted on it yet. There are military cuts. Your children and grandchildren will be indebted forever. The Balanced Budget Amendment will be destroyed. Boehner will give equal decisions on this Bill to committee democRATs such as Pelosi.
There is still time to stop this monstrosity that will destroy America by calling your representative and telling them they will be PRIMARIED out of their job next election if they support raising the debt ceiling.
As long as base-line budgeting is used it is a bad deal based on the false assumption the economy is always increasing.
Moochelle is going to sing?
The GOP House had better not give up extending those!
Utter nonsense. We all ready won a major victory here. The last few weeks shows hat without the Tea Party the debt limit increase would have been passed without any attempt to rein in spending
The Tea Party has all ready won simply because the terms of the debate are now changed forever. It is no longer a question of cutting spending, it is now how to do it and how much to do it.
True we did not win a complete annihilating victory but this will be a long war. This is the Tea Party equivalent of Lexington/Concord.
The war on Federal Spending has now started. We are not going to undo 100 years of Progressive politics with a single vote.
“we don’t need the whitehouse”
You need to rethink that. Among other things, the White House makes judicial appointments and liberals have long used biased judges in high places to force their politics down the throats of an unwilling public.
Apparently, we are all worried about the same thing.
A re-boot won’t cut it. We need a complete system restore.
You don’t change 100 years of Progressive politics with a single vote. While the notion of blowing everything up may be emotionally satisfying, it not how the real world works.
I’m sure I’ll get my underwear torched for saying this... but what do those who are screaming “NO DEAL!” expect? We made great progress in 2010, but the reality is, folks, we don’t have enough influence or control yet to implement the change we need. To be honest with you, I have greater fear over a collapse of our system and the immediate power grab that Zero would implement than I do over making some progress in this battle like we have while keeping the issues in front of the public.
So we call our leaders — tell them “NO”. They comply. The deal falls apart. Are you REALLY welcoming what might follow in the wake?? The reality is Zero and Harry are NEVER EVER EVER going to give us what we really want. The key comes next November...
>>> Also rush has not had his say yet. Hee hee hee “ <<<
Brilliant! I see no win for the US, but for relief to Obama’s campaign, and NO CUTS but to GROWTH of spending over ten years which is what? One Trillion? The debt ceiling increases the current debt. The arithmetic should have been the driver here but fell to the favor of socialism.
Hey boner, the pre will be held accountable in 2012. Until then your job is to put him in a box and deep six anything he wants.
NOW DO Y O U R JOB
Imagine how effective Barack Obama will be with a tea party house and a tea party senate. Impeachment is just around the corner if it pans out that way. and, the fact is, out chances of winning the WH remain kind of slim.
Contrary to what you must think, the members of this site do not arrive here every day riding on the short bus.
They were set to expire anyway. This will be Obozo’s whole campaign, Economy sucks because Bush’s fault. “Vote for the Republican and get more tax breaks for the rich to further weaken our economy and redo the policies that got us here and give the dangerous tea party extremists control of the government so they can throw granny off a cliff and starve the children so that big oil can keep their tax breaks, or vote for me (the One) and we will really soak it to the rich this time”. Unfortunately will an FBI investigation hanging over Murdock’s head and a muzzle around his networks mouth, and an otherwise corrupt media, this strategy is likely to work.
>> There is NO debt deal yet
But they’re trying to box-in the House TEA members with the implying threat TEA will be responsible for the debt crisis.
There was no reigning in spending here.
Plus we’ll likely get tax hikes from the Debt Commission “seupercongress”
So, primaries will begin before the new ceiling is hit and November National and President election before Bush cuts expire. Good for campaigns next year. ( on both sides)
RC,
If we ‘cut’ $1 for every $1 that we ‘raise’ the debt, why do we need to raise the $1 to begin with - if we’ve already ‘cut’ the $1......????
If I cut my budget by $1, then that’s $1 LESS that I need to borrow (assuming I am in the red now).
I read it its light on detail.
