Wow, even leftist Politico admits that the democrats were mugged, taken, clipped, hoodwinked, outmanuevered and basically smoked: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0411/52853.html Sweet. I'll have a little more confidence in Boehner going forward. Yeah, only 2% but it is better than nothing and sets the tone for subsequent battles. The funniest thing of all was watching the Ditherer in Chief claim credit. Hilarious. The Prez is a Putz.
So Boehner cuts 38 billion out of the 3 .7 trillion Obama wants to spend and less then half of the 100 billion promised to the tea party and Boehner is the winner Congratulations Speaker Boehner I guess
Read the article, it ain't bad. The actual total cuts are now $79 billion for fiscal 2011: "The $79 billion figure represents the full level of cuts for all of fiscal 2011." So Boehner got the Obama regime 79% of the way plus many related agreements to conduct senate votes to kill PBS, NPR, EPA and the abortion racket called Planned Parenthood not to mention a straight-up vote for or against the repeal of Obamacare. Those democrat senators are going to have to face the wrath of their constituents if they once again vote for the healthcare takeover.
we agree on this. Big deal they cut a tiny fraction of the govt. And Obama will probably spend most of the savings in libya. We can't afford these circus of liars we call govt. Until we see a balanced budget there are about 600 traitors up there who need to be fired.
Everybody asks for more than they'll get - then one side claims victory. Next time, it's the other side's turn.
+1 Bull shit from both sides putting on a bull shit show over 38 billion out of 3.7 trillion Obama ,Boehner and the rest of Congress needs to go.
