I think after Moodys downgrades our bonds next week...everyone will have a fresh new attitude about these issues. Once you into the business of hustling up bonds....you should have always considered the consequences when you spent too much money.

I can handle this far better than being sold out by the leadership. Back to Cut, Cap and Balance, or simply hold and cut. Any way you slice it, somebody has to neuter the spenders.

Obama’s “plan” is to have his ghetto supporters call congress and whine about something that's not going to happen.

Keep in mind 1 thing:
They no longer want a tax increase because it is immediate and it is fiscal contraction. Do that to a teetering economy and unemployment will explode further, and that’s that for re-election.
So make no mistake here, this is not and never has been about taxes. It’s about spending, and frankly, a sharp cut to FY2012 spending is ALSO fiscal contraction and will spike unemployment.
It’s beyond salvation.

Is a “statement of administration policy” any more likely to be true than a “bloviation from behind a podium”?

I am getting reminded of the debate about the Ratification of the Treaty of Versailles. BTW the Irreconcilables won that power play despite being the smallest faction of three.

Obama is measure his growing support among some Tea Party members for slamming Boehner.
He loves it that he's dividing the right.

Outstanding! Once again 'Grid Lock is our friend'!!
Good news: Obama will tank before America does. :>)
To: tobyhill
the president's advisers "would recommend that he veto this bill Leaving himself an out, huh? I'm beginning to anticipate another of those sore loser speeches like the one we heard after he lost the Bush tax cut extension vote. He's finally figured out that if he vetoes the bill and puts us into default, the public isn't going to look past the last guy to touch it while searching for someone to blame.

Boehner needs to go national with the following message:
“We in the House have submitted three proposals to cut back spending and try to get our nation`s fiscal house in some semblance of order. And three times we`ve met nothing but a brick wall from the President and the Senate.
“We steadfastly refuse to subject Americans to yet a deeper tax bite when in actuality there is enough revenue coming in to Federal coffers. Going forward, we are standing pat with the cut-cap-balabce legislation passed a week ago. We urge all Americans to contact their Senators and urge them to vote on and pass CCB forthwith. The House has completed its work on this matter.”
