If we’re broke, Boehner, how did we get that way? It wasn’t from John or Jane Taxpayer wandering through Walmart going “I want that, an’ that, an’ that, an’ somma those, an’ . . . . “

It was from you and the rest of the Congress taking America on a spending trip we didn’t want and now we have to pay the piper.

TAXING Americans for the exceses and whims of an out-of-control Congress ONLY adds insult to injury. The Congress got us here, NOT the taxpayers and the taxpayers should NOT have to pay for the foolishness and irresponsibility of the people elected to represent us.

So, if we’re broke, it’s YOUR fault!! YOU got us here and YOU need to get us out without digging deper into our wallets!!!

Senator Rand Paul has it right. The Republicans need to vote “present”. So that way the Democrats will OWN the double dip recession that’s coming in ‘13. There’s nothing else to be done.

Those cuts really are chickenfeed. They do nothing to solve our deficit/debt problem. Unless we reform the entitlement programs, they will consume the entire federal budget.

It’s amazing how the MSM can harp on the “fiscal cliff” 24/7 and totally fail to mention the real problem that the US is broke.

The only unknown here is the Death Panels.

If they can cut the life expectancy enough, the problem does mitigate quite a bit.

You might be surprised to know that I understand the big picture and I realize where we are. I also know we are on a collision course with economic collapse. I know very few are telling it really like it is.

I believe this to be very, very serious and I'm more than willing to do my part to take care of my children and grandchildren.

Why didn't we listen to Paul Ryan?

The American people are idiots.

No pay for Congresscritters during years that the budget runs a deficit, along with a 10% cut for each such year when their pay resumes.

Kudzu is edible in salads and as animal fodder. You can make flour from roots or even ferment them for alcohol.
You shouldn’t insult kudzu by comparing to ol’ Weepy. Heck, even manure is more useful than our Speaker.

Heh ... you're quite the 'piker', aren't you?

How 'bout we abolish:
Department of Health and Human Services
Department of Housing and Urban Development
Department of Transportation

How 'bout we seriously reduce:
Department of Agriculture
Department of Commerce
Department of Justice

Let's get really serious: Congressthings should have to pay their staff out of their own salaries.

Every politician at the top wants us to go over the edge. That is the way Government takes over everything as the fool populace clamors for the Government to do something and they accept every draconian regulation that is passed to “make things better.” Most people today would rather be slaves than have to make it on their own.

I think only around five percent of our politicians support the Constitution and the rest want to enshrine themselves in their offices forever, just like the old Soviet Union.

How about we simply gut all unfunded unconstitutional entities, and continue to fund that which is constitutional or funded.

Then we can set about transforming that which is funded but not prescribed in the Constitution to the private sector.

End of problem.

While we’re being honest, Boehner is morally broke.
