Revenge…?! Sounds like a GESTURE.

Cut their budget in HALF and I would say that’s a START, before 10 or so INCARCERATIONS.

Ultimately, they'll cave.

No historical reason to believe otherwise.

I think so too. Cutting it in half would be a good start.

Are these the same Republicans who did away with the debt ceiling, allowing President Obama to print up money and spend it without restraint? A budget is now meaningless.

After Harry Reid gets done with it Boehner will spread his cheeks nice and wide and take it like the little ***** he is.

So they actually didn't cut anything. They reduced the amount of increase, but there is still an increase of about $700M.

That'll show the bastards.

The legislation funds the IRS at $10.95 billion — the $341 million reduction is a cut of about 3 percent.

Oh, my!!! They're going to cut the IRS operating budget by a whole 3 percent? That'll teach 'em, you betcha.

$341 million? That’s less than 12 days operating expenses for the IRS.

At the very least cut it by half!

Flat tax and then cut the other half.
Throw the bums out on the street.

Their budget for 2013 was $13 BILLION..!

Their cut here means a decrease of 1/33, or 3%…!

Imagine that at your company you had acted as a tool of political terror:

How many people here think their pay would be cut by 3%…?

This will be great if they actually carry through. Next, cut the border patrol budget (they’re misusing it); deny any funding for transporting, housing, re-settling illegal aliens; cut the EPA budget to zero (again, they’re misusing it); cut the ObamaCare budget.

If you don't fund the beast, the beast will wither and die.
what's so bad saying $0.00 to IRS budget next fiscal year? Let O-bammy use his bloody pen to veto Congress (no funding for IRS) and see how popular his imperious move would be.
