I think I agree with Cain on this one.
I agree with Grover Cleveland.
I don’t.
The problem is the democrats are controlling the story again.
Republicans passed the bill. The democrats are the ones holding it up because funding comes from things like the Chevy Volt any solyndra. We would not be having this problem if Zero and the democrats had come up with a budget.
It’s a winning message if someone would just pick it up and run with it.
So do I.
Gie them the money, then fight the Rats on the sources and make THAT an issue, not the aid and assistance.
Cain is more than a conservative with a brain, he’s a Christian with a heart.
He jumped the shark long ago when he loudly endorsed TARP, a position he still has not recanted!
I view this as a misstep by Cain. It is the Democrats who are demanding disaster relief money. Eva in post #32 points out that FEMA has announced that they have enough money. If Mr. Cain would be a wise man, the first step would be to DEEPLY distrust the Democrats, and somewhat deeply distrust the Republican House leadership. This would have been a moment to say nothing until the facts were all out.
Absolutely. It is totally ridiculous to think the federal govt could actually reduce any spending whatsoever. It is bare bones now-- not a penny of waste. Totally heartless to even think of a reduction to offset billions in brand new spending. Just tax the rich. They don't pay anything now. Go Cain Go.
Well, looks like Cain was wrong on this one, and so was I.
This is part of a CR to cover a small part of FY12 which starts November 1. Eventually they will need a FY12 budget to get out of short term CRs.
The problem with this standard Washington strategy ‘Spend the money now and worry about the debt later” agreed here now by Christie and Cain is that supposedly congress/Obama passed a deficit reduction bill (bi-partision deal) that was supposed to put limits on spending.
But here we are immediately making excuses to violate it mainly for political reasons. And why will the next congress and next POTUS in 2013 honor a debt limit deal with the cuts that the ones that passed it wont before the cuts? Because we will be tougher then?
