Get rid of 14T in the next decade or go to hell Mr. Speaker....and don’t tell us that it can’t be done because that is total BS.
Watching Cavuto now...Speaker Boehner, Canotr, many others getting microphone time..one after another they are pointing out that 0bama is doing nothing but concentrating on next November. Each one is slapping him in speech. They are also wearing blue ribbons..is that a show of grief for Norway? Or something else?
Really, it is silly to talk of a plan that involves the next 10 years. In that time, 5 more Congresses and 1-3 more Presidents will be in the WH, and will ignore anything another Congress or President did. Graham-Rudman anyone?
The only true reform is that which acts now and cuts now, in true cuts and not just reduction in increases. And those cuts have to be at least 25% of a budget item, or we’re just playing footsie under the table.
Simple as that.
Don’t let ‘em raise taxes or fees, folks. That’s one way that the socialist constituents behind those politicians can hurt you for a long time. Otherwise, let ‘em proceed to their default. They’re going to do that anyway: their own demise and your freedom (little enforcement after default).
Keep moochele’s a$$ at home and that will save a lot of money.
Not no, but HELL NO!
No debt ceiling increase!
No tax increases!
Cut spending by 5 trillion NOW!
What’s so hard about this?
Major ratings firms — namely Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s — have said even if the country raises the debt ceiling and doesn’t default, there’s a strong likelihood that the triple-A bond rating will be cut to double-A unless a budget can be crafted that results in $4 trillion in savings, the result of the massive debt load the country has accumulated in recent years.

Which is not nearly enough...
All this drama and they still come up painfully short.
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.
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.
