"You didn't think I was really going to keep my word about cutting spending, did you, Chuck?"

next fight will be to bend over again....
Ok big guy lets see it
Note to Bonehead. That doesn't include crying like a baby and folding like a cheap suit. Nor does it include "bipartisanship."
Time to start blood letting on the spending the hacks have come to love for so long,time to pay the bills.
All the unicorns have died.
"You didn't think I was really going to keep my word about cutting spending, did you, Chuck?"
Memo to John B:
Make damned sure the military’s paychecks are not held hostage next time.
A trillion here, a trillion there.
...and pretty soon you’re talking about real money!
(apologies to Everett Dirksen)
My tagline is my comment.
If we get most of Ryan's $6.2 T we will definitely be getting further ahead.
That's dang funny because MANY Freepers were screaming FOR the Gov't shutdown which would have held back military paychecks.
Seems John was getting it from all sides.
... and then he’ll settle for a buck ninety-eight.
Barry must be looking for the number of that truck ...
Peanuts when we are talking 'trillions of dollars'.
$100 dollar bills stacked......... [assuming .0043 inches thick]
a million dollars = 43 inches tall
a billion dollars = 3583 feet tall
a trillion dollars = 678.66 miles tall
A billion stacked
A trillion stacked
The Executive Branch has a lot of discretion in what is declared essential and what is not during a shutdown. Holding back military checks is a political move the President controls in how a shutdown operates and who gets blamed for it.
In a similar vein, whenever there is a state or local budget problem, haven't you noticed that the first thing to get cut is something like garbage removal or police on the street, not administrators? Same idea... make the shutdown as painful as possible to show the voters how important ALL of government is.
“We got most of the $100 B.”
For the umpteenth time: 38B/ 100B is far from “most”. (Gee, it’s not even half, for all the Boehnheads out there...)
And why don’t you break it down for us all, where exactly these 38 B in “cuts” are coming from? Do you have any clue at all?
For the umpteenth time, the $38 B was NOT THE ONLY DEAL done this year. Combined with the others we DID get most of the $100 B.
Who's the bonehead??
I don’t think it was funny much.
I’m pretty sure the folks in uniform didn’t either.
What I DID think was funny was your comment blaming Boehner for "holding military pay hostage" when so many Freepers were pushing him to take action which would do just that.
