Just got picked up, the lady said they have been “VERY BUSY” this afternoon...told her that “We The People do NOT support such paltry spending cuts, especially over ten years. HOLD FIRM and make these cuts over the next 18 months...”
As well they should!

The new bill has not been published, consequently I have not read it. Once I have read it, I will provide more specificity on why I object.

I support Cut, Cap, Balance, but I do not agree with the new outline presented by the Speaker.

Get on the phone, email, tweet these Republicans and tell them what you think!
Boehner’s plan is a scam and so is Reid’s plan.
A few of them should be in prison too.
Exactly correct.
Some past Congress thought they could impose some manner of fiscal sense and spending constraint on THIS Congress by passing a debt ceiling law.
How is that one working out towards actually constraining Congress towards living within the debt limit?
They don’t have a clue what we believe.
I TOLD YOU RINO BOEHNER WOULD SELL US DOWN THE RIVER

I was just given the following bullet points from one of the individuals who got briefed at the staff level on John Boehner’s proposal:
On background if you would please, just left the meeting on the Boehner deal.
Some highlights:
1. Outlay reduction for FY 12 – $25 billion cut in discretionary spending.
2. Debt limit increase right away – $1 trillion
3. Does not touch Obamacare funding, Medicare or Social Security
4. Includes the McConnell automatic increase without a vote – they tried to sell us on “your boss isn’t actually voting for a debt limit increase”
5. Joint Select Cmte Created – 12 Members, if Commission recs pass on entitlement reform, then Pres gets another debt limit increase
6. Budget Authority in FY 12 is $ 7 billion less than FY 11 in discretionary spending.
Most of us here, with exception of a few, could look at what happened with Bonehead’s CR Deal and predict what was to follow.
NO _ NO _ NO!!!!
What don’t they understand about CUTTING UP THE CREDIT CARDS and STOP SPENDING OUR MONEY!!!
Let's see.
Remember the predicted dire consequences off the “Asian Markets Exploding!!” if the debt limit wasn't increased by the opening bell there.
Suddenly, it's not a crisis, and not even mentioned anymore.
The new Congressmen and Women need to simply state that the House will NOT approve a debt limit increase, let the so-called crisis deadlines pass.
Use the power they have and force the spending to STOP.
If they can't stop the RINOs and the Democrats from raising the limit, at least they have locked in their vote against spending, and anyone who voted to raise it has a target on their back in 2012.
Take the heat, or get out of the kitchen!
Money for nothing, chicks for free.
Boehner goes limp, can't hold firm.
You know an example of using compound interest in the best way is Whole Life Insurance the way they use to sell it.
Whole Life was always presented as a savings account. Buy one and it compounds interest. Have it for about 20 years and you break even. Anything after that you are making money. It could turn into a nice little nest egg and that’s good. I am not sure people ever understood this.
Now they are selling term life which gives you nothing unless you die; then someone else gets it.
However, now we have long term compound interest on our debt and it’s eating us alive.
The Pubbies will get played just like Bush I, when the Rats promised to cut $3 of spending for every dollar raised in taxes, when they convinced Bush to go against his “No New Taxes” pledge.
One more thing. This debt we are saddled with isn’t going for what they say it is going for. It is being used by government and some big business to feather them and their families and associates. Lot of private slush funds out there and we the taxpayers are left with the debt which is growing larger with the compounded interest. A credit card you can’t pay off and can’t use.
They really do need to go to prison.
Worth repeating. Loudly.
Why? Because neither the VAST majority of our country OR our out politicians show the stomach for doing what is necessary to avoid absolute calamity. These "proposals"...even the ones that are being demagogued by the Dems...are not even CLOSE to what needs to be done to keep us from falling off a cliff in the next few years to decade.
So...since no one seems to have the will to keep us from destruction...KICK THE CAN. PUNT THE BALL. Buy me a little more time to make my preps...pay off my debts...and get ready.
I suggest 2006 limits. The deficits were reducing ‘til the RATS took over in ‘07. (There was a further deficit reduction in ‘07, but they started their monumental increases in ‘08 after the non-vetoed RAT plans started in ‘08.)
