The Wall Street Journal is reporting House Republicans will vote next week to cut $2.4 trillion over the next ten years while increasing the debt ceiling by a $2.4 trillion.
House Republicans said Friday that they planned to vote next week on a proposal to raise the debt ceiling by $2.4 trillion, with matching cuts and guidelines to control future government spending.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R., Va.) said at a news conference Friday that the House next week would vote on a "cut, cap and balance" approach. The House plans to separately vote on a measure that would amend the U.S. Constitution to require the federal government to balance its budget.

The rats have nothing to run on so they have to buy votes. The billion they raise in the campaign is small change for what they have to shell out to bribe all the right people for zero to even have a prayer to win again.
With 2.4 trillion at the disposal of the regime the potential for bribery,(I'll give you this project, we will siphon off this money, for this, that money for that) is endless.
It's so much money its hard to keep track of. In other words its chaotic,just what obama wants just what he thrives on.
He thinks with that much money he can fool people, buy the ones he needs, and get yet another four years to keep destroying the country for his masters Soros et all.
Its a slick trick,well thought out and has a 50/50 chance of happening.
If they were real CUTS there would be no reason to raise the debt ceiling. LOL...
Third party talk is for losers,this party is worth taking over and we will.
Get those phone lines ringing.
Conservative Republicans have been saying that for years, and it hasn't happened yet.
Liberals are coddled and financed. Conservative candidates are savagely attacked and undermined, and defunded.
Just happened again this past week in a congressional special election in California. A solid conservative candidate was within striking distance and couldn't get the Republican Party to cut loose one thin dime.
At some point you have to listen to Einstein:
"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
You get it started, its gets off to a good start, lots of money good people and then they have to deal with the political hacks in dc to get anything done.
Sooner or later we get those who decide if we just go along to get along we can get further and get more done.
It's very possible the same things that have destroyed the Republican party could rear their ugly heads again in a new party. Certain areas of the country are just too prone to it,Maine,the north east, both coasts etc. IMHO, the best way is to clean up the Republican Party, it may take a while, and make it a political party one can be proud of. We know the drill, it won't be easy but it is doable.
Well, that could certainly happen if you are simply trying to recreate the Republican Party.
Doesn’t seem to be much point in that.
If they vote for 2.4 t in cuts, why do they need an increase? what am I missing?
99.9999% of those who tell me they’re going to fix the GOP can’t even correctly identify what’s actually wrong with it.
Can you?
Nothing. They really truly think we’re stupid.
It's to be the adults in the room, to save the country,to obey the Constitution, not solely to get reelected for starters. If thats not enough i'm sure i can come up with more but will have to do it tomorrow im falling asleep.
Right, there are no cuts, but a lot of borrowing and both the House and Gang and Six plans raise taxes.
