Proof of the theorem that the eGOP is merely biding time till THEY can get control of the spending and the machinery of government.
Recall that immediately after Paul Ryan called it a historic step for deficit reduction and voted for it he started sounding the alarm bell on how bad the cuts to defense in it were were, and made that part of 2012 failed election run.
He looked too slick playing both sides.
And some of those defense cuts were stupid too.
The thing slithering it’s way toward 0bama’s desk is not a budget. It’s just blank check for runaway spending. The Federal government no longer recognizes any limit on its size, scope and power.
Speaking of ‘Republicans’...
Joe Scarborough is repped by Ari Emanuel. If Joe speaks east of the Mississippi, he gets $51,000, swanky hotel not included. For a trip to the West Coast, the fee jumps to $56,000, again hotel not included. When he speaks in New York, Joe doesn’t need a hotel, since he already works there, but he still makes $45,500. Not bad for an hour of talking. His co-host Mika Brzezinski frequently joins him on stage.
