"A failure by the supercommittee to reach a deal would trigger across-the-board spending cuts to the military and domestic programs."

This is what it's going to take to get what we want. Period.

Boehner is NOTHING but a liar.

revenues = fees = taxes.

Who cares what the taxes are called.

Boehner must be recalled and then removed.

GOP = Union Stucture.

Our talent has to wait their turn because of Senority. Boner is a Joke of a Speaker.

Where we had a complete nut case in Nancy Pelosi.

Now we have a weak leader in John Boehner .

Well, as much as it would be great if Boner would do more than talk a good fight (and then fold), his performance so far seems more like the easy woman on a date who says, no a few times but is soon in the back seat.

Of course, no one has been looking at how Russia is recovering after their economic collapse.

They are enjoying the benefits of honest and crooked capitalism, as well as developing their OIL.

Cut the FEDERAL spending and you can then quit worrying about those who make so little that they owe no FEDERAL income tax.

“Disband and stop funding EPA and Education. How much does that save?”

86 NPR and PBS. Stop fighting legislation Hussein doesn’t like. Cut the UN budget in half. How much more does that save?

raising taxes is raising taxes, whether you just do it or eliminate “loopholes” (provisions allowing people to keep THEIR OWN MONEY to invest and spend)

Some of We the People may have been born at night but it wasn’t last night

On “fee” and “insurance” hikes, we say it is spinach and we say “to hell with it”.

Just get Boner’s government OUT of our faces and let us keep more of our own money to take care of ourselves

I’d like to see a payroll tax placed on capital gains income.

You know...that percentage who pay no payroll taxes.

In fact why is any income exempt from paying SS taxes?

GOP caves in again.

Anyone surprised?

So much for the spending cuts we were promised, looks like they want new “stimulus”.

Because paying more into SS doesn’t mean they will get anything out of SS. People should be allowed to opt out and have their own private retirement funds.

.....

But this is about the budget, not SS (I think they still pretend its solvent).

Right! Color me dumb but what is the difference between taxes and revenue?

The political elite are losing the war. Keep donating to Cain and don’t get sucked up in their faux scandals. Cain will be the next president.

Gotta keep focused folks.

If Slick Willard ends up being the nominee, I’d have no qualms about rolling up my sleeves and doing whatever it takes to oust Crybaby Bonehead instead.
