Deeper in the hole our nation will go with larger debt payments to the 'financial services industry'.
A lot of rank and file Republicans will get to 'show vote' (as Ted Cruz put it the other week) against this sham since Democrats will support it.
THE LITMUS TESTS WERE EARLIER THIS YEAR WHEN ONLY FIVE HOUSE MEMBERS OPPOSED BOEHNER FOR SPEAKER AND ON THURSDAY WHEN THEY VOTE ON PAUL RYAN.
Whoever votes no in those two cases has credibility as a 'real conservative' in the House. The rest of the votes like the budget one this week will give cover to the fakers.
What is it with Boehner?
What are they blackmailing him with, or paying him off with?
Trillions not just down the drain on his watch, but funding destructive activities to boot. Worse than just wasting it, is giving it to left to spend.
To quote Bill Clinton, “the days of big government are over”.
Not because of Bill but because in the end big government and most all of their employees will be among the first to go down if we go belly up.
Milestone?? More like a gravestone...
>> and extend the nation’s debt limit
As to continue pissing on the Country’s young ones.
The only way to stop this short of a revolution is to clean house, vote all these bastards out of office and pull their pensions, perks and health benefits. We need a new political party - the Anti-incumbent party.

We are so screwed. BOHICA
Look closely, folks. This is what showing up to vote has gotten us. A grand total of maybe 10 conservatives who will stand up and be counted in both the house and the senate. We would have gotten more or less the same result if nasty nancy and the rats were in charge.
All of those dollars spent campaigning, all of those hours spent in elections and voting and what did we get in return? Bupkus.
Voting is counterproductive and immoral.
Can I go back to watching TMZ now?
Our feckless Congress, kicking another can down the road to our children.
Maybe Twitch McConnell will cover this fresh BS in his new book.
Why 2 years and why any increases when COLAs are held at zero?
Sellout.
The Uniparty strikes again!
Paul Ryan is saying the deal stinks. Yeah right. He’s a hard core conservative.....until Thursday. After the vote, he’ll go back to being the Chamber of Commerce Establishment Republican he he was paid to be.
Soft Boner has nothing left to lose now.
And of course, Ryan will vote for it as well while pretending he’s not responsible.
Then the pretend conservatives in the Freedom Caucus will accept it as well.
The fix is in and I don’t know how to break out of it.
here’s the (PDF) draft of the ‘deal’:

It also bankrupts SS earlier by diverting receipts to SSDI.
Yay!
If voting actually changed anything, they would have banned it decades ago.
