I am very cynical. This was planned to fail and it is so annoying listening to both the left and right giving talking points. This is just kicking can down road, and no one is thinking of the “little people” out here busting their butts to hold on. I am so angry that about 1000 people(President, Congress, lobbyists, elite’s) are controlling close to 350 million in this country.

As for Newt...another politician, albeit a great debater.

Color me Happy. Sheesh!

I am actually shocked that the Republicans didn’t cave.

It was a "heads I win, tails you lose" bet by the Prevaricator-in-Chief. He hoped the Pubbies would cave and he'd win the jackpot. But if they didn't he'd have a wonderful campaign issue, blaming them for obstructionism in a "do nothing" Congress. After all, the MSM is in his back pocket and will spread that meme far and wide.

I am actually ashamed to be associated with a party that was so incredibly stupid as to accept this deal. Boehner and McConnell have a lot to account for. Watching Republicans trying to outmaneuver Democrat thugs is like observing pussycats caged with vipers.

Gee I can't imagine why we weren't warned about these two guys. Oh wait we were, I know because I predicted exactly what these two mossbacks would do, which proves posting here is about as effective as shouting at the TV.

The sweet voice of reason: “ ‘We’re going to ask through regular order every subcommittee to find savings. We’re going to do it out in the open. We’re going to it with expert testimony.’ “

Thanks, Newt.

Newt’s got that right. It was unconstitutional to start with and can you say lobbyist’s dream?

You've been here long enough to know- you have to shoot the TV. I will remain silent concerning Boehner and McConnell.
