Dick Durbin: Fiscal cliff now, entitlements later

I say let them go off the fiscal cliff, and then refuse to raise the national debt limit

This works for me.

The Dems want tax hikes now, no spending cuts ever. Then when things go to hell they will say we need to raise taxes again, the rich are still not paying their fair share.

The dems are invincibly ignorant. I don’t think anything can stop them. They cannot reason normally. We are dealing with lunatics and they are going to pull us all under when the ship goes down. But hey by then we will all be equally poor so the Dems will die happy.

They will never ever ever cut spending

Sen. Durbin can run for re-election in 2014. I live near Chicago, and I know a conservative Republican who told me that he’ll run, in that race. The candidate is Chad Koppie, a member of the Kane Co. Regional Board of Schools. In the 1998 IL GOP governor primary, Chad was the only conservative candidate. He’s pro-tax cuts, pro-spending cuts, pro-life, pro-gun rights, and anti-illegal alien.
