God I hope that it doesn't pass!
Passing this would remove a HUGE political & fiscal issue instrumental to the 2010 election wave.
Were the Dems smart they would pass it and not be labeled the party of no
And if they do not pass it then they have shut the government down.
I believe on an annualized basis it IS $100 B.
Unfortunately Jeff Flake has become part of the problem in Washington, not part of the solution. He is one of the politicians who Arizonans need to replace.
He proposed his own Cap and Trade bill. When I questioned him on it, he claimed it was “revenue neutral” because there was a payroll tax off-set. I learned that Al Gore also proposed a revenue neutral Cap and Trade tax. Flake should know better than to lend any support to the EnvironMental movement. Instead he drank the kool-aid.
He is also on the wrong side on the immigration issue. He doesn’t do anything to help Arizonans when it comes to the problems on the border.
There are other reasons why I have lost faith in his ability to serve so I truly hope he doesn’t run for the Senate.
I agree. This is just the first proposal already under the threat of veto.
But it’s a cut that calls out the senators who will be up for reelection.
2012 is where the REAL cuts begin, provided of course, Americans can stay hungry and deliver a newly elected government that will take a chainsaw to the budget.
Patience folks. Rome was not burned in a day. :-)
Hmmmm.....
Something to consider.
I just thought they were going to spend the next two years attaching bills.
What I would really love to see is these getting passed as attachments on the Continuing Resolutions and the bill to raise the debt ceiling.
So far more than 218 members have failed with their affirmative votes(235) to kill it. As I understand it, that’s it.
Nothing the Senate and White Hut can do about it.
Last September, I traveled to Wash., D.C. to do some research. I ordered a $7.00 snack pack.
It came with a can of tuna with a metal lid.
Growing with amongst the Chirichau Apaches,I instantly thought of it being used as a throat cutting weapon.
I called the FBI, sent them two letter,finally drove to Portland to make a personal visit. They never called me back... Oh well.
YES! Nothing in the U.S. Constitution that education is a federal matter.
“”Agreed eliminate the department of education...”
YES! Nothing in the U.S. Constitution that [makes] education is a federal matter.”
Not only that it makes no sense, in education you have to build upon what is already known. What is already known to a child when they start in life is the immediate world around them. That is family and their local community.
To establish a Federal education policy seems to contrast the basic needs of education. the world around a child in New Jersey is different then the world around a child in New Mexico or Texas. The environment is different, the industry is different, the people are different.
Not a single Democrat voted for these tiny cuts.
That would be $120 billion per day.
About $45 trillion per year.
I think your math is off a bit.
I, for one, am happy we are on the right road.
Excuse me. It’s per day, not per hour. The speed and size of the increase made me dizzy.
NO EVEN CLOSE to being sufficient to do anything to our debt !
Need to do a LOT more to be classified as “dramatic”....
very UNDERwhelming if you ask me...
RINOS Join Rats in Rejecting Additional $22 Billion in Budget Cuts
