When we are spending 3 billion more than we take in, in ONE DAY, 200 million, really doesn’t dent anything.

We are dealing with a trillion (a million million) dollars a year overages. It’s like saving 200 dollars but overspending a million dollars. The principle is fine but if the best we our side can do is only save 200 bucks, our side isn’t really doing anything to fundamentally address the overspending.

He’s in control of the House. This is where the purse strings are supposed to be. Saving 200 million but overspending by a trillion, I just cannot applaud this.

“to save taxpayers $400 million by 2014”.

Bullshit.

How many taxpayers are there in America? Anyone know off hand? Let’s arbitrarily say that there are 50 Million taxpayers. Divide that into $400 Million and that comes to a grand savings total of $80.00 per person.

I’m always lousy at math but that seems to be the whole deal. Somebody check my math and correct it if necessary.

50,000,000 into 400,000,000 = 80.

Shit, I’ve saved the taxpayers almost that much in just two cases I helped win for the government, and I didn’t get any extra reward for it.

Boehner is a useless, gutless, jellyfish who has got to go before any re changes can take place within the GOP. If not, 2014 is a wash, and the Tea Party will become the new second leading political party in the US.

BULL!
Bonehead Boehner is one of the biggest problems the "has-been" GOP has.

In short, the GOP is full of VILE members who'll sell us out in a heartbeat!

Here are the ones that I know about.
What do we do when our side is full of TRAITORS?
I submit the following for proof.

Check out this link, "Senate Republicans Willfully and Knowingly Lie to Their Constituents (vote to fund Obamacare)".And let's not forget Sen. John McCain, one of Conservatives worst enemies, saying 'I don't understand' GOP filibuster on guns.
Thanks to Cyropaedia for this:

$400 million!? And we are supposed to be impressed or pleased with Boehner? I think that he is in cahoots with President Obama. He could be doing so much more to stop the profligate, relentless and ever-increasing spending of the Obama administration and he is not doing that. This is like the way that Obama asked his cabinet members, early in his administration, to find $100 million of combined cuts that they could make (they failed, by the way). Meanwhile, he is increasing our spending by trillions.

Boehner has demonstrated that he is part of the problem and not part of the solution.

I have been trying to find the results of his re-election campaign in 2012. How did he do, and who was his opponent? As far as I can see, he won in a landslide, and if this is true (please, someone, confirm this or correct me) I think it is compelling evidence that the Democrats believe that Boehner will advance their agenda. Otherwise, they would have slated a candidate and done their get-out-the-vote effort against him.

Sorry, but I’m not impressed in the least. Weeper is still a present danger to conservatives and the country. Let him go back to Ohio and run his family saloon. The nation will be safer this way.

“The House of Representatives will spend 15% less on its own operations this year than it did three years ago under a cost-cutting effort launched by Speaker John Boehner that is on pace to save taxpayers more than $400 million by the end of this year.”

This would be an impressive number, IF THIS WAS FREAKIN’ 1935!

$200 million saved?

We are spending $7 million each minute. Every minute. That is $420 million per hour.

Boehner just saved us a half hour of spending.

Whoopee. We are saved. Crisis averted.
