I don't mind being called a radical - but I would prefer to be known as a member of the Samson wing of the Republican Party.

I heard speculation that they were going to cut spending for the men’s room upgrade at exit 54 on the Jersey Turnpike.

That would help drive down the cost of college somewhat. If they stop handing out free money to non-qualified students, colleges would have to compete more for qualified students.

Okay - good start Okay - good start=WHO CARES. Everyone here knows good and well that this means nothing...that the deal McConnel and Reid are working on...that the house WILL approve...will have Pell Grants.
They could pass a bill outlawing Obama...Passing a balanced Budget...demanding the release of the Birth Certificate...demanding nukes to be sold to Israel...
And we ALL know it would amount to NOTHING. This is all theater. And very BAD theater at that. We all know the end game here. We've KNOWN the end game here since Boehner signled a willingness to do anything behong CC&B. He blinked...and everyone knew it. He should have walked away...unplugged the phone and said...knock on my door when you've passed your own bill.
To: WayneS
The Obots already cut Pell Grants to beef up ObamaKKKare.
Nobody cares about starving students apparently.

Speaker Boehner has yet to offer a plan that meets the requirements of the Gang of Six or the bipartisan deficit commission This is the debt deal which was specifically meant only to deal with the debt hike.
And, in addition, more budget deals would be coming, including the real budget for '12 and debate on the Ryan plan.
BTW...did Obama or Reid put for a plan that meets the requirements above? No? So why not mention that?

This isn’t really a cut. It just removes $17 billion that Boehner had added into the bill. The Tea Party freshman demanded it be removed.
To: vbmoneyspender
Rush is RIGHT. Boehner should be WALKING AWAY. Not making stupid little deals that will mean NOTHING in the end.
ALL this will do is give the Dems MORE ammo to use during an election.
In a deep solomn voice: "Congressman DIP STICK voted to CUT Pell Grants. Money to help poot students get a much neede education.: blah blah blah."
Yep...all this will do is give opponents AMMO against our members...for a bill that is destined to FAIL. STUPID!
To: NELSON111
poot=poor. GOD I’m ticked off at the stupidity.
To: vbmoneyspender
This is all absurd. So they cut Pell grants as opposed to other things that need cutting.
I think we all need to face the fact the end game is nigh.
All of this is a game that refuses to face reality.
The Credit Downgrade is weeks or at best a few months away.
Once that happens the movement of interest rates starts on federal debt.
All of a sudden paying interest on the debt will start eating up all revenues going to the government. The laws of compound interest will win out in the end.
A default will come, it's now only a matter of time and the time will be short.
