RE :”Of course debt is up $1.6 trillion
remember that vote that jammed the increase in the debt ceiling down out throats? Just before our debt was downgraded?
Boner et al believed “compromise” and putting the Dept of Defense and MEDICARE on the table for “sequestration” (a sacrificial lamb) would make the democrats finally grow up after running through another $1.5 trillion increase in their allowance - just before the elections”

Remember??? I did a vanity on ithere immediately after the House passed it.

Passed a deal that delays all cuts until after the election, and then claiming that those cuts that take place after the election with a new congress and POTUS (maybe), are cuts that those voting for it claim really don't want???, while calling it a success was really sleazy. And it was Boehners signature achievement yet. He said it was 99% of what he wanted, but it was really what those in both parties who voted for it (Ryan and Pelosi together) didn't want ???

RE:”As far as the $$$ goes, let's be realistic, no way do the Republicans want to take the blame for a government shutdown. Look at what it did for Clinton's reelection efforts: it was a HUGE plus for him that the GOP (through the MSM) falsely got blamed for it.”

Glad you mentioned that.

When that showdown was taking place and individual House members were getting on camera and saying they wanted the government to shutdown, and many here were cheering them on, I and only a few were asking why they were not trying to pin the shutdown on Obama to force him to give in, rather than giving him a club to beat them senseless with and force them to cave to him, which they of course did, much like what happened in 1994. They learned nothing from history.

I kept posting in comments that the idea was to get Obama to cave, not to trap themselves so their party caves (again and again, so humiliating.)

” Meanwhile the democrats knew they had no intention of stopping spending, that $1.6 trillion would tide them through obama’s next election before raising the debt ceiling again, and that the GOP does not have the stones to stop them

We the People were screwed

but only a few people and some FOX news analysts seemed to notice, or care “

The GOP doesn’t stop anything.
