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.
I think this was releasaed as an attempt to scare college kids a month before college tutition is due. Media is trying to demonize the Tea Party and gin up the college vote.
When I heard today that EPA is funding MURALS in tunnels in Chicago with grants, I thot about the 125% EPA budget increase. Why not cut that?!?!?!
Boehner is not a good negotiator. He was an idiot to go after Pell grants in August and they will be put back in in the compromise bill—just more bad will for Tea Party and the Republicans—no idea how much Pell grants impact the government budget.
Instead of eliminating one program or another, for starters, I say 10+ PERCENT ACTUAL REDUCTIONS ACROSS THE BOARD—EVERY DEPARTMENT BUDGET TODAY!
