Speaker Boehner's Office: Hey, You Have To Remember That $352 Million Compounds Over Time
I love this argument people trot out -- our tiny cuts actually get bigger over time. You know what else that's true for? The $1.5 trillion deficit. If $352 million will become $300 billion over time, whatever shall $1.5 trillion become? Or does the bad stuff not compound? By the way, if you were hoping the CBO was making this up, and that Boehner would contradict it -- based on the emails between Red State and his office, it seems confirmed and accepted. They want credit for the $38 billion in future spending authority they did cut, for example.Comments

We shoulda seen what was coming.
February 18, 2011
From AoS: Flaming Skull
"Um: Half of Republican Caucus, Especially Leadership and Old Guard,
Votes With Democrats To Block Additional $22 Billion in Cuts"
"Republican committee chairmen like Lungren, Appropriations chief Hal
Rogers (R-Ky.) and Jo Bonner (Ala.) made a rare stand alongside
Democrats, while Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), a former chairman of the GOP
conference, spoke in strong support of the measure."

Or does the bad stuff not compound?
China's military compounds and improves over time, thanks to the interest payments we're giving them to finance our ever-expanding debt.

You could tell there were no real cuts when you saw that they were funding Obama's new high speed rail at about 75% of the requested amount.
If you can't even stop that kind of new, no-consituency-existing-yet wateful spending, what the hell can you cut?

As Mark Steyn says, we are witnessing pre-revolutionary conditions.
That was clear in Nov 2008, when this nation voted for Suicide by Indonesian. The election of 2010 was just a sad attempt by many to convince themselves that this national suicide was stoppable, but the lie was immediately put to that with that criminal lame duck session - which was about the biggest "Fuck you, America" I've seen from Congress. The fact that all who participated in that escaped unscathed (and no one even talks about that crime any more) just showed that there is nothing left to save.
The damage done by the Ineligible Indonesian and his junta of lunatics is irreparable. That was the danger of allowing the Constitution to be trod upon in order that the poor Indonesian didn't get embarrassed by anyone asking if he is actually a natural-born citizen, which he isn't. Once that was thrown away, it was inevitable that all would come crashing down.

I actually believed they would get this deficit back down to the $500 billion of Bush, since all that other crap was dem dream programs that just started. I feel like a complete idiot, I walked over 180 houses.
But I'm done, Rand Paul is the only one who seems to believe what he says.

That's covers six weeks of our deficit spending, that ain't shit. What the fuck is wrong with him?

Gorbachev tried to genuinely soften the face of the Soviet and implement actual reforms, but it wasn't enough. They still had to burn it down and start over.
If any serious 3rd party effort were launched, the Dem/GOP response would be to immediately infiltrate and compromise it. They'll both close ranks to defend their turf.

You know when I was pissed on Saturday you guys were all mad at me and I was trying to tell you all that it didn't matter cause it was all virtual numbers. I mean, why send you kid to study accounting, send the kid to engineering school and then for an MBA and then on to become a multi million dollar paid quant cause it seems now, not only is wall street using quants but the government seems to be employing these folks as well. Heck, the next thing we'll find out is that the government has shell companies and is running a government hedge fund and is behaving like wall street.
Was a little disappointed today. The prez didn't talk about making members of congress pay their back taxes as an example to the public at large. Especially since they, without warning, put a lean on my friend's first house, cause there was an error on a tax form two years ago. So he owes twenty grand, which he will gladly and easily pay but now he has to unwind a lein.

If I buy a $100 item when it's on sale at 20% off, I didn't save $20, that $20 does not appear in my checking account, but $80 does go out.
I can, however, acquire a pitchfork for no cash outlay, it's just a short walk down to the barn. If I dig around a bit I can probably find a sharpening stone, too.

I agree Jeff about Pawlenty. At this point, I perosnallythinkour best ticket is probably Palin/Pawlenty. Palin gets to play bad cop and go after Obama hard win or lose, Pawlenty gets to play good cop as VP and be her rhetorical and political backup to assure some of the indy's of a competent administration.

If I buy a $100 item when it's on sale at 20% off, I didn't save $20, that $20 does not appear in my checking account, but $80 does go out.

Boehner is still playing by the Dims rules.
Someone needs to tell him he won. Now, put on your big boy pants and get in their faces. Draw up a budget that actually cuts the deficit by trillions and every time Reid or Obama open their mouth, blame them for the consequences. Do not stop. Tell Americans that those two are solely responsible for the failure to get the economy going by their insistence on raising taxes and regulations. Hell, even blame the Botox Bozo too. She bears as much responsibility as Reid for the mess we're in.
Keep pounding the message home that we're in this shit as a direct result of the 111th Congress and Obama.

You know how quickly a city runs out of food if there are no deliveries?
Damned fast.
I know in a Super Walmart, roughly 90% of general merchandise and grocery stock on site is out on the floor. Their retail outlets are pretty close (but not quite) JIT delivery from the distribution centers. Each store typically has several 40' semis arrive every single day.
The "back room" in most retail outlets these days is pretty small.

Yeah, this poll (even skewered like they are) tells a lot:
Americans actually think the tax they pay is fair
Not that they're cheering. Fewer people expect refunds this year than
in previous years, a new Associated Press-GfK poll shows. But as
Monday's filing deadline approaches, the poll shows that 54 percent
believe their tax bills are either somewhat fair or very fair, compared
with 46 percent who say they are unfair.
Should taxes be raised to eat into huge federal deficits? Among the
public, 62 percent say they favor cutting government services to sop up
the red ink. Just 29 percent say raise taxes.
That's sure to be a major issue as Congress takes up budget
legislation for next year and the 2012 presidential campaign gets under
way in earnest. On Wednesday, President Barack Obama revived his
proposal to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans to help reduce
government borrowing.
In the poll, Democrats were more likely than Republicans to think
their tax bills were fair. Liberals and moderates were more likely to
think so than conservatives. Women more likely than men. Most whites
thought their tax bills were fair; most nonwhites didn't.
...
Sandra Jennings, a retired teacher in South Bend, Ind., said her
federal taxes are fair, but she thinks rich people get off too easily.
Rich people, she said in an interview, "get all these loopholes. The
middle class does not have loopholes."
Mari Lemelson of Edison, N.J., said, "I have a big problem with the
millionaires, at least what I understand to be the millionaires' tax
breaks."
...Ultimately, about 85 percent of individual returns qualified for refunds
last year, totaling about $360 billion. The refunds averaged $3,000,
about the same amount as so far this year.

None of this 'saves billions of dollars over 10, 12, 15years' ever makes a damn bit of sense because no political coalition stays in power that long.
The other side comes in, spends on their own programs, leaves a mess, then plans their 'deficit reduction' which is abandoned when power changes again.
The whole thing is a fucking joke.

lowandslow,
"worshiping" is a dick-brained accusation. You accept why people want who they want, or you invent stupid accusations and look like a putz.
If a man tells me he wants Daniels because he has the right ideas, I don't accuse him of "worshiping" the man. I just deal with his arguments as stated.
Grow the fuck up.

Ah. I didn't realize he was a Palin guy. I guess that explains the weirdly out-of-nowhere hostility to Pawlenty, who's been on the fucking money over the past few months on these issues if you ask me.
Notice how no other GOP candidates have come out against this deal? Where's Newt? Mitt? Bachmann? Palin, even? All I see is T-Paw actually voicing our anger here. And he has the history to suggest it's authentic: he shut the whole fucking state of Minnesota down TWICE rather than eat the shit sandwich Democrats in the legislature tried to serve him. So right now he's my guy. Drop the stupid "Global Warming" crap -- unlike every other politician who's said or done a dumb thing in the past (and they all have) he's come out and admitted he was an idiot, like a man should, instead of pulling a Mitt Romney squishball excuse-fest. Even that's something worth respecting.
I'm looking for something to salvage in our 2012 lineup of candidates, and Pawlenty is pretty much the one guy I can get behind right now (especially if Daniels doesn't run). Palin? She isn't even running, for god's sake.

Daniels is a policy wonk with 0 personality, you need personality to get the big chair. Palin Governed just fine until the Dems attempts at destroying and bankrupting her. She then stepped aside for the good of her state. That's called selflessness. It's a GOOD quality. Sarah is my Queen and will be defended.

The rage bolied up from the grassroots. NRO lauded Boehner at first, then was confused, then irritated. They praise Republicans as a reflex, and it takes pressure to see fault. Same with Hannity. Ericson was a bit more unsure from the start.

1. The Republicans didn't push hard enough on the budget.
2. The Republicans didn't use enough harsh rhetoric - in other words, they didn't and aren't accurately describe how badly the Dems are fucking everyone and have been for years.
3. Republicans are backstabbers.
Don't cheer at #3 just yet, I'm talking about the base as well as the politicians. Look at how fast everyone turns on anyone who looks like they're not doing enough or doing it right.
I blame them for the fuckups, but I don't know if I can blame them for ignoring the base, if the base keeps turning on them. Connected problems.
Yeah, we probably need to cycle a lot more of them out. I hope we do.
Y'all just seem to despair a little bit too quickly.

That said, the spending cuts are absolutely pathetic, and the people who promised more (see Boehner) also knew how the political system works. The level of cynicism and opportunism among Republican political leaders is astounding.

Um, at least Pawlenty owned it and apologized for it.
Unlike Boehner who is refusing to admit he messed up on this budget.
Palin has to have a VP, and that person has to be able to push her forward in a general election, not compete with her for popularity. That's why someone like Pawlently on the ticket makes sense as opposed to West or Bachmann or Rubio, etc. He already defended her in front of Katie Couric in a way that no other GOP potential candidate has.

>>Palin, Bachmann, DeMint, West, Cain, Rubio (not so much).
Palin, DeMint, West, and Rubio aren't running.
Cain won't get >5% in a single primary, AND he endorsed outright un-American bigotry (the religious test) in that stupid self-defeating interview he gave to ThinkProgress, of all people (hint: never give an interview to ThinkProgress).
Bachmann might actually go somewhere in the primaries, but I could never vote for her having worked with her throughout the years. You can feel free to think different.
So basically, you're saying it's Bachmann or bust? Let's get down to brass tacks here, K-Bob. She's the only remotely semi-plausible person you named that you will have the chance to vote for in a primary (unless you live in Iowa, I guess, where the field hasn't yet winnowed). So are you saying that unless Michele Bachmann is the nominee, you'll vote to reelect Barack Obama? I just want to understand the logic that would prefer Barack Obama to a conservative budget cutter like Pawlenty or Daniels. Oh wait, it's because their 'wimpy' or something.

The nice thing is that, with a large majority, going after Boehner, Cantor, Rogers, etc. with primary challenges and if necessary a general election boycott will take care of all of them in one election cycle.
The Tea Party should simply boycott voting for the leadership. We lose six or seven seats, gain a new round of Tea Party candidates, and scare the shit out of the backbenchers.

The truth is, this type of bullshit probably would have worked on the majority of Republican voters a decade ago. Politicians are always making promises to their base that can't (or won't) be followed.
Now Republicans have to deal with the new reality of a base (including independent Tea Party voters) who actually knows what is going on and thinks of this as fighting for their lives. The leadership hasn't got the message yet.

None of these compromised politicians are the answer.
Put it all in mathematical terms as an algorithm and you'll see it is inevitable unless people who don't owe any favors to anyone get into power and prosecute these criminals.
Right now there is no reason not to break the law on a massive scale because nothing happens to them.

I'm sorry, what non-conservative thing did Palin say? Which policy did she come down on the wrong side of? I must have missed it. You grasp that the dictionary definition contrasts populism with statism? The ordinary american against the "elite"? If so, which elite do you want to form the oligarchy? If you mean she likes to appeal to the people then, ok, as opposed to whom?

Your going to have a hard time finding an acceptable running mate for her with that attitude. Rubio and West aren't leaving Florida, Bachmann would compete with her for air time, Jindal probably isn't leaving Louisiana. Pence will run for Governor, Paul Ryan isn't leaving the House.
So since we know that she isn't going to pick one of Romney, Huckabee, or Trump, what does that leave her with?

The Hill: As of this hour, the Congressional whip count stands at enough votes to pass. But if enough votes from the noncommittal switch, it's dead. I'm thinking a conference meeting might be held tonight, but who knows. As it is, McCarthy is trying to hold the line on spooked congresscretins who might vote against Ryan's budget because they might loose their seats.

I was amazingly encouraged by the results in November, thinking that the nervous feeling I had was just some old residual hang up from when Rs were all about Amnesty and spending when in the majority previously.

What Boehner did was conspire with the Dems to give it all up in exchange for their help in pulling the wool over the eyes of his base.
And they fucked him over.
He's not just a liar, he's fucking incompetent and he got played like a bitch.
What does he think he's going to accomplish against them next time?

Does anyone else remember when the Tea Party incoming class didn't want to sit on the appropriations committee? I seem to remember reading some things about that months ago.
Rogers and the appropriations members are the first enemy, though the leadership is a very, very close second. If people can't sit on these committees without spending like drunking sailors, they should be removed.
If a Republican can't sit on the committee (or lead the committee) without spending, they are not a conservative, and I could care less about any other aspect of their political life/career/values.

He'll be parroting Hairy Reed at the point. His only option is to disown his own deal, admit his mistake, apologize to the people, vote to shutdown and resign his leadership. Damn dummy.
And spending will increase until the day of the collapse... It's very depressing.

Yes. People don't like Appropriations for a reason. They currently have more conservative members than they ever did, but not enough to push-back against Rogers. Rep. Foxx and Rep. Flake helped pushover a deal several months ago, but I'm not sure they can do that here.

Rand wanted to cut $500Billion. He will not vote on this piece of crap (or didn't - I don't know when they will vote).
Rand has actually been talking about fillibustering it.
The old fashioned way, where he just reads the Great fucking Gatsby for 43 hours.
Rand Paul is my hero. That guy is the real deal, clever, personable, sane, willing and able.

That's from a press release for something done months ago. I think there
are conservatives who will vote for and against on both sides and for
different reasons.
I recall the vote. It was the vote for which Col. West inexplicably - as in literally he never explained his vote to his constituents - voted against the additional $22B in cuts.
The explanation we were offered by "leadership" was that the cuts weren't going to be itemized so they didn't want to give Obama the power or some such nonsense.
That vote was the sign that GOP leadership wasn't serious, imho.

Maybe I won't articulate this well but it really bothers me that the entire country is behind raising taxes on just one group. It sort of sets an odd precedent which I think people aren't realizing. I mean what happens when they say "oh well, we didn't get all the money we needed out of the rich so we are going for the two tax brackets below them". And then when that still doesn't work they are going to go to the brackets that are left. It's only 50% of the people working who pay taxes anyway, everyone else gets a free ride thanks to GWB. But that's fine and honorable, heck if you are working and making less than twenty grand you deserve to pay no taxes as a reward for at least trying to be honorable and work. Then there is the entitlement class who wouldn't dream of working and find the same kinds of ways to augment their dole as the wealthy do to avoid taxes period.

I hate to break it to you curious, but your concern is already reality and has been since the income tax code was created.
The entire basis of the tax code is and always has been structured with the explicit intent that 1. at some point, you've made enough money and 2. it is the obligation of those who earn more to support those who earn less.

Do you (a) vote it down and pray that he handles a shutdown better this time or (b) just keep going because he'll bomb this? That is a hard choice to make, when we're considering the practical realities.

I know what they're thinking but won't say. Taking money from the rich won't hurt them--it won't cause hunger or mortgage problems etc so they should be knocked down a peg so that other MORE worthy people can have the govt fulfill their needs. It's about how they think you should live. No one ever asks if by knocking the rich down, why would the rich then work?
Why not just sit on the fire escape and drink from a brown bag if it results in the same income? People try to explain that they can't create wealth or jobs if they are overtaxed but it all comes back to the left acting jealous of the rich so that they can be in solidarity with the jealous poor from whom they derive their power.

The long-term debt reduction from Ryan's plan mainly comes from reducing the rate of Medicare spending decades from now.
I think he is a smart guy, but the overall deficit and debt reduction that comes from his plan is tough to buy.Even if those'twenty years from now' chanes could be made now politicans will demagogue before these changes happen and limit them. If it doesn't happen now or within the current legislative cycle, it shouldn't be seen as a long-term viable option for reducing the deficit.

Apart from Mystery Door #3, it looks to be coming down to a choice between Romney - who, I promise you, will 'fix' healthcare, Huckabee - who will govern the country like the illegitimate bastard of a New York City Councilman and a gay youthpastor, or Donald Fucking Trump who I believe will embezzel 11 trillion dollars, sell everything west of the mississippi to China and fly off to some summerhouse in Venezuela.
So I'm probably voting for Ron Paul. He may be bugfucking crazy but he's my kind of crazy and he may actually salvage the country. Certainly won't be invading Libya. Certainly won't be buying car companies or printing trillions of worthless dollars. I think Israel can survive without us for 8 years and if can't, it's screwed if we go down anyway.

Do you (a) vote it down and pray that he handles a shutdown better this
time or (b) just keep going because he'll bomb this? That is a hard
choice to make, when we're considering the practical realities.
I don't understand your point a. He didn't handle a shutdown. The shutdown was an illusion. He had no intention of allowing the government to shutdown and signaled that to the Dems from the start. But that's because he thought (knew) the other GOP congresscritters were backing him. If they pull their support and present a united front, the government will shut down.
Time to do the experiment, in my opinion.
We don't know how it would play out, but we do know that the GOP will lose all of its gains in the House (and probably lose the majority) if they make the voters swallow this shit sandwich.
Whatever Indies or Libs think, it's important that Conservatives see the GOP fighting the good fight.

The budget also raises the debt ceiling every year, and it will be at
$23 trillion in 2021 according to the Republican budget.
That's estimating the amount of public debt, which was revised after Heritage re-released their report. While the levels of debt keep rising due to mandatory spending levels, you'll see that they drop significantly outside the budget window. This is Heritage's analysis.

It really pains me to say it, but I'm coming around on Rand Paul. He is the only one of the Republicans with any fucking backbone who can't be bought, so far.
I laughed at Dad when he he voted for Ross Perot. I ain't laughing so much now.

What if the "rich" leave?
Obama hasn't a single clue as to how economies work, he was too busy gazing into a mirror and jerking off Billy Ayers, son of a really rich guy.
The Radical Chic are running this country, all of it, and it has been this way for a long time.
Where are all these electric cars coming from all of a sudden? Windmills?
We are spending tons of cash on worthless shit, to make hippies and leftists happy.
Frightens the crap out of me.
And then I look at how much I'm paying for the privilege.
What a sick play we have going on at this theatre of fools.

oh, and in case you didn't hear: most of Barry Bonds' case was thrown out; he got found guilty on one count of acting like a jerk, or lying, or something.
But he pretty much walks away with no real punishment.

Exactly, and this is what my other comment was about. We have to wait over a decade to see any serious reduction and that reduction is supposed to come in the form of a voucher Medicare program.
The Republicans aren't going to be in control of all houses of Congress for twenty years. They are going to have an incredibly difficult time just getting Democrats to vote on Ryan's Medicare proposal. I honestly don't see Medicare turning into a voucher program without all three branches held by the Republicans and a filibuster proof majority in the Senate.
This cost-saving measure (as good as it may be!) can't be our silver bullet to cutting the deficit.

The budget also raises the debt ceiling every year, and it will be at
$23 trillion in 2021 according to the Republican budget.
Maybe I'm being simple here, but shouldn't we cut the debt?
I'll vote for the first congress critter who proposes lowering the debt ceiling.

I don't understand your
point a. He didn't handle a shutdown. The shutdown was an illusion.
He had no intention of allowing the government to shutdown and signaled
that to the Dems from the start. But that's because he thought (knew)
the other GOP congresscritters were backing him. If they pull their
support and present a united front, the government will shut down....
But that's my point, about the experiment. If you are a back-bencher and you don't trust Boehner, taking a chance on seeing how he'd respond without having an alternative plan of your own sounds rather difficult to me. Dr. Price taught the entire conference how to play it, but how do you make Boehner play it? Then there's the issue that whatever savings they got here is sliding down the drain more every day before this fiscal year will end September 30th. I would rather experiment with trillions of dollars once the conference has an alternative plan than take a gamble with Boehner right now. They have no one to replace him, they can't play this for him, and 2012 gets shot to Hell if he bombs entirely.

Maybe they shoulda proposed something like Rand Paul's budget first and then trotted out Paul Ryan's.

Any GOP congresscritter who votes for this crap sandwich when they could instead force Obama to play his cards should consider his/her seat at risk. The back-benchers especially. Boehner, Cantor, and the 'leaders' will get supported by the RNC. The ones who will lose their seats are the newbies and lower-ranking congressfolks. It's just how it will go.
They'd be stupid to vote for this non-compromise compromise.
Look, I'm not a big one for pointing fingers at the entrenched establishment and thinking they're all out to get us (and out to grab as much power and moolah as they can get). I think there's a lot of risk to pinning our hopes on a bunch of neophytes. (Mike Lee is my senator and the guy is dumb as a bag of rocks.) Congress is a complicated place, so I thought there was a place for seasoned Reps (and Senators). But when a veteran like Boehner gets rolled and doesn't even have honor to look us in the eye and tell us that's what happened -- instead telling us all that we're delusional or stupid or whatever -- well, that's the best argument for term limits I can think of.

Congress is a complicated place, so I thought there was a place for seasoned Reps (and Senators). But when a veteran like Boehner gets rolled and doesn't even have honor to look us in the eye and tell us that's what happened -- instead telling us all that we're delusional or stupid or whatever -- well, that's the best argument for term limits I can think of.

It is all about the Ryan budget, the 2012 budget that we have access to now with the numbers above. Is this enough?
Posted by: Paper at April 13, 2011 09:28 PM (VoSja)
I don't know, probably not. The bond market is already spooked and even if it wasn't how long can you have 2% interest rates?
It will take all of Ryans cuts and then after those are nailed down a tax increase.
I'll tell you what I would be for tomorrow. Let all the Bush tax cuts expire and $1.4 Trillion in cuts. That would get us started on paying off this debt instead of adding to it.

Ryan's budget is what the Republicans want. I don't think this is close to enoughmainly because the real debt and deficit reductionrelies on so many things happening decades in the future.
We won't even get that though. We are going to get some compromise with the Senate and White House.

This is the problem for me. It takes Ryan's cuts AND no political changes in the law for three presidential terms, mulitple House and Senate changes. This is just madness to me.
We can't trust the Republicans to do a budget right for a year, but we trust an unknown government to make the right choices fifteen years from now? The Ryan plan requires everyone to hope that the economy grows at a rapid pace and the best case scenario happens with Medicare and Medicaid.
I don't think we have the freedom to leave so much to chance.

It is unclear that this budget that defers so much to future legislative and executive leaders because of relatively few cuts today could even pass with a majority in the current House.

363 #350 Exactly, and this is what my other comment was about. We
have to wait over a decade to see any serious reduction and that
reduction is supposed to come in the form of a voucher Medicare program...
Four things:
(1) Outside analysis from multiple conservative say Ryan's plan works. His Roadmap does it better and faster but he only ever received 13 sponsors. Most everyone else is allergic to it because it's "radical".
(2) The reason you don't see more cuts than Ryan propose is in part because of things like the Mulvaney Amendment. During debate on HR 1, there was a vote on taking back spending levels to '06; only 93 lawmakers voted aye. It was discussed a few more times but the conference never endorsed it.
(3) They are treading very lightly with regards to entitlements b/c people are afraid of losing their seats. It took Ryan several months to earn the privilege of addressing entitlements, he's educated the conference, but they're still wary.
(4) Ryan has staked his career on this. I fully expect he'll soon have another full set of knives in his back soon but his colleagues on Budget will go down fighting with him-- especially the freshmen.

That's estimating the amount of public debt, which was revised after Heritage re-released their report. While the levels of debt keep rising due to mandatory spending levels, you'll see that they drop significantly outside the budget window. This is Heritage's analysis.
Posted by: Miss'80sBaby
Didn't Ryan indicate that there would be other votes to cap entitlements like Social Security? This "scoring" would not account for that, I think?
Taki it away!

Classic GOP geniusry:
"We're going to cut $100 billion."
"100 billion is unrealistic, so we're going for $61 billion."
"Actually it's $38 billion, but the reason we dropped it was because the debt limit is going to be the real battle. We'll cut tons there."
Here's what will happen next:
"We'll agree to raise the debt limit, but only if we get some serious concessions on spending."
"OK, we couldn't afford to potentially destroy the country by holding up a vote to raise the debt limit, so we had to drop our demands, but that's OK because the real battle is the Ryan budget."
"Well, we couldn't afford to fight over the Ryan budget, so what this really proves is that we can't get the kind of reform we need until we have the Senate and the White House."
And for people who actually believe that last one, which party controlled the White House and both branches of Congress from 2001-2006?

Here's some more comforting information for you:
According to several articles from 9/2010, 1/6 of Americans receive some sort of federal assistance. This does not include those with Pell Grants, government loans, federally funded unemployment benefits, social security, etc.
The simple fact is that we have become a parasitic society. Aside from the amount of government checks that get cut each month, you need to take into account the subsidies on nearly ever commodity that we purchase. Our entire global market is distorted by these subsidies and businesses that should have evolved or failed generations ago continue to be propped up.
That is why, even if it were possible to replace every worthless, scumbag criminal in DC eliminate the entire, unfathomable infrastructure that has developed around the corruption and fraud of Washington, we still cannot fix the problem.
Generations ago, when the first corn farmer got a government check to subsidize his failing farm, because of the "potential impact to food prices" was when this needed to be fixed. That farmer should have gone out of business and we should have paid 10 cents more for corn. That would have opened the door for free market innovation which would ultimately have stabilized, then reduced the price of corn.
We have compounded this error millions of times over in every corner of the globe at this point. Absolutely nothing you buy is worth what you pay for it, one way or another. Profits are, for the most part, only redistributed taxes, then we are taxing that.
The problem goes beyond politics. We are living in an completely false, global economy and every man, woman, and child on earth is dependent on the farce remaining intact, even though it is unsustainable to it's core and always has been.
There is only one solution. The entire bubble must burst, just like the dot com bubble and the housing bubble (which is still grossly inflated, thanks to our intervention). The result of this burst will be catastrophic but, just like the small bubbles I mentioned, it will also result in an immediate return to sanity and reason.
Everyone in DC, regardless of what letter comes after their name, sees it as their sworn duty to avoid this collapse. It cannot be avoided, only delayed. We had an opportunity in 2008 to make massive progress toward sanity with the housing and banking failures, but we refused to accept that catastrophic failure is both necessary and rational. None of them will stop spending and borrowing and spending more because if they do, it means that our artificial reality ends.
Until we accept that an end to life as we know it is not the same as the end of life; and we realize that the end of life as we know it is actually a good thing, we are doomed.

I honestly don't know what to say or do to express my true feelings over this latest example of how both sides are full of statist who don't see government as the problem...they just don't and that's not changing.
Now, I realize comments about blood and revolutions and revolts etc make people all squeamish and nervous. I'm not wishing harm, threatening harm, inciting harm, or promoting or violence on any particular person(s).
Having said that, there will be blood. At some point in the future, unless someone in Washington gets a clue and a sac and really starts making tough and right decisions, there will be violent backlash or counter-backlash and blood will flow.
The only questions are when and what's the final spark that ignites the fire.

Washington DC local radio today: rapturous announcements that Montgomery County and Alexandria County just got awarded with new billions in free, federal highway funds! Local congressman, Jim Moran (Hellspawn - VA), calls it a significant win for all the locals (federales & their dependents all!).
Then, in a shockingly uncharacteristic move, these same locals expressed a desire for the new Metro stop at Dulles airport to be build above ground. To save billions of dollars. The planners aren't happy about that and vow to keep on with the below-ground model. After all, it's free money!
That's how Washington, DC greets this new era of belt-tightening!

The problem is that no one wants to take their fucking medicine. Nobody wants to experience the slightest discomfort, let alone pain. This is a nation of fucking PUSSIES who elect other pussies to keep the fucking Vagisil flowing.
One man. Just ONE fucking man to say "I don't give a fuck about the party leadership. We were elected to fix this shit."
We need a splinter group within the GOP who can command enough votes to MAKE these professional cocksuckers listen. What good are these Tea Party candidates if they don't have the balls to make their influence felt?
Boehner didn't get rolled. He knew EXACTLY what was going on. This shit isn't complicated. That's the excuse they give you every time you find their finger in your ass.

Regardless of how smelly our nominee is, I expect everyone who isn't
batshit crazy to vote for him/her. We have to get rid of Obama and
replace him with anybody. Whoever it is cannot be worse.

Cannot be worse? Sure. I agree with that.
The problem is that all probable alternatives are the opposite side of the same coin and just as bad.

Ryan may very well be our best hope in the House, and I sincerely believe that he has a bright future. He is a great spokesman for fiscal conservatism.
That said, the plan relies on the idea that political leaders for the next half-century are going to follow his plan. In the short-term when Republicans actually have political control, they aren't going to cut much. I don't think Ryan intends the plan to be like this on purpose, but it provides political cover for Republicans to play budget games until the 'real' cuts are supposed to happen.
I completely agree with you on Ryan being still in an extremely precarious position in his own party. It is still very likely (maybe even more likely than not) that he is pushed to the side for 'electability' concerns among Republican House members. Many House members are going to distance themselves from Ryan because of the Medicare portion of his plan alone.
I'm just terribly skeptical of a plan that pushes so much of the heavy lifting to future elections and electoral leaders where we have less reason to expect success.

Indeed. The Ryan budget is a red herring to distract us while they
fuck us on the current budget and the debt limit. It will not pass and
the GOP has no intention of passing it. If they were serious about
passing it they would roll the rest of 2011 into it and pass it now.

This song by School of Fish called 'Rose Colored Glasses' is exactly the way I think Dems and mouth breathers think/feel about Obama's Presidency. They elected a black man that promised them things and promised them hope. No matter the truth, they will not accept reality. That is why we are truly boned. They look at these past few years (and their own circumstances) through rose colored glasses (I changed the 'she' to Obama):
Everyone is standing 'round
Waiting for their high
You feel the world turn upside down
When you step inside
Need a drink of water
To keep you standing up
Right now she (Obama) means everything
And you're not enough
Now you're here again
'Cause it had you convinced
That you were part of something
You haven't found since
See her (Obama) making tracks
For somewhere far away
Think that you might join her (Obama)
If she'd he'd let you stay
--Chorus--
Everything looks good
And if it don't you twist it right
Everything you see you see tonight
Through rose colored glasses
Finally you speak
The truth comes out
And your world is inflated
'Cause it's all you think about
You can't stop staring
You don't want to ask
With everthing in common
It won't last
--Chorus--
Through rose colored glasses
Half alive you step inside
Your helium balloon
It's the only way
To rise above the room
It's temporary
The colors getting soft
The groove goes on forever
Only you can get you off
Everyone is standing 'round
Waiting for their high
You feel the world turn upside down
When you step inside
Need a drink of water
To keep you standing up
Right now she (Obama) means everything
And you're not enough
Now you're here again
'Cause it had you convinced
That you were part of something
You haven't found since

@382 Any GOP congresscritter who votes for this crap sandwich when
they could instead force Obama to play his cards should consider his/her
seat at risk. The back-benchers especially. Boehner, Cantor, and the
'leaders' will get supported by the RNC. The ones who will lose their
seats are the newbies and lower-ranking congressfolks. It's just how it
will go....
But the best way to settle that is to force a standalone vote of no-confidence. If they're serious about this and they want him out, I want to see them actually move-forward in that goal. Otherwise, I'm not sure I see the point in forcing a shutdown over mere rounding errors. Some of them have made the point before that these barely amount to rounding errors and they want to start on 2012. Obama is already ahead of them right now because he pummeled Ryan using the bully pulpit, and a shutdown over the 2011 budget is not going to yield results for 2012 unless they actually have a contingency plan. Do they have a plan?

This is what I am concerned about. I don't think many people are really 'rallying around Ryan' as much as rallying around the idea that the real difficult decisions get to be made decades from now in his plan. The deficit then becomes a problem for some other politicans to work out.
If they really wanted something that would hit at curbing deficits and debt, Rand's budget would be more like what would come out.

'Seems to me that he could generate at least a little good will if he'd roll out some of those tears he's so famous for and admit he blew it. Instead he's calling us stupid.
It is time for conservatives in Congress to make a stand that this deal is not acceptable and vote against it. Let the chips fall where they may.

account for that, I think?
Taki it away!
With a consensus budget, you don't get everything you want and he wants more; he also thinks his plan is quite "modest", which is is. This is one of the reasons why he wants to re-introduce parts of his Roadmap and other legislation he's written to complement his budget bill.

For the folks who want to know what is going on: Obama is a malignant narcissist. He has pernicious or passive-aggressive rage, usually at a low level.
That is why Obama invited Paul Ryan to the White House and then attacked him.
Obama is a very sick man, a functioning psychopath. We need to treat him like the crazy fucker he is. Corner him. Don't listen to anything he says. Force him to choose between signing a good bill that goes against his core principles--which is spending more and more money--or breaking his constitutional oath of office.
We need to utterly wreck Obama's reputation and drag his name through the mud before he destroys this country.

@33: "Whats coming next will make 1861 look like childsplay."
I wouldn't bet on that - people are a lot softer now. It takes serious balls and dedication to walk headlong into death at a places like Shiloh, Gettysburg, Antietam, Franklin, Cold Harbor, and Fredricksburg.
What's coming may well make places like Rwanda, Srebrenica, Katyn, the Hodolomor, and Auschwitz look like child's play. People today are a lot more comfortable with murder.

But the best way to settle that is to force a standalone vote of no-confidence.
I think we're focusing on different things.
I don't think getting Boehner out of the leadership role is the highest priority. The highest priority is to follow through on their promises to the American people - or at least fully go to the mat to try to achieve those promises - and to stop giving Obama and the Democrats political cover... which I think most folks agree was done here.

That he dropped.
And was just picking it up, not licking it.
And he was just picking it up to throw it away.

Going
from billions to millions seems like more than rounding errors to me.
At this point, even billions are rounding errors. Millions are so small they barely register. Trillions are closer to talking about real money, but even $10T is fairly small in the grand scheme of things right now.
The 1974 Budget Act says that Congress is required to pass a budget. Dems tried to pretend it didn't exist last year, but it does. At some point before September 30th, Congress must pass a budget. The anxiety has already negatively affected the stock market and the fiscal year ends in 5mos. If we keep waiting and waiting, there will eventually be nothing to cut from this year's budget because Obama will have spent all that money. Once it's down the drain, it's gone.

I
think we're focusing on different things. I don't think getting
Boehner out of the leadership role is the highest priority. The
highest priority is to follow through on their promises to the American
people - or at least fully go to the mat to try to achieve those
promises - and to stop giving Obama and the Democrats political cover...
which I think most folks agree was done here.
But can they do that with Boehner as Speaker? That's part of what this is about, even if he's right in saying he's cut obligations by $38.5B. But he hasn't explained that well in the least and this is another reason why we're at this place. The Rs voting against this also have largely expressed the sense that they think they got the best deal possible even if they are disappointed. Maybe that has changed since then, but I see no one advertising themselves as someone who can go back to the mat over this issue.
I think it's possible for them to go either way, though. You can oppose this deal out of principle and express disgust by voting no, or you can feel the same way and vote yes. Either way, doesn't reflect well on Boehner but I don't think he's going to see it that way. That's why I say they need to make this a separate issue if they're going to move-forward. Last point-- when there was a move to scrap the CRs in-favor of getting a deal, I think that was a mistake. They would have been able to get a maximum number of cuts while still eventually delivering a budget.

See my TLDR post above.
In short, all of them- R and D- think that if they keep us focused on bitching about how they lie to us, we won't notice that the world is collapsing and there is nothing that any of them can do about it. Besides, everyone has accepted that politicians lie with every breath anyhow, but continue to elect them. If they lie to us and support the next layer of duct tape, they might stay in office (and thus be insulated from the collapse).
It comes back to a simple question: how big of a catastrophe do you want? Averting catastrophe is no longer and option. Neither will it be small, when it inevitably comes. It's simply a matter of when and how massive.

So
who goes to jail over this mess?
Now that's the thing-- there are some Republicans who are dedicated to following a law passed by Congress even though there is no enforcement mechanism to hold them to it. But they'll still do it out of a sense of duty. A majority of the people on the Budget Committee and a number in RSC feel this way.

Another commenter was right with what they said earlier:
"Congressional Budget Office data, posted Wednesday morning, credit the
Boehner-Obama deal with capping appropriations at a level nearly $38
billion lower than when Republicans took charge of the House in January.
But this will have only a minimal impact on outlays or direct spending
before the 2011 fiscal year ends Sept. 30"

Christie is AMAZING... for NJ. It's all a matter of context and he knows it, which is why I respect him in spite of his squishiness on most conservative positions.
Take him out of NJ and put him in a red state or on the national stage and he'd immediately be recognized as a RINO.NJ needs him and he's doing a great job there. Maybe when he's through, he'll have swung the pendulum enough to get NJ truly back on track to solvency and reason and they'll elect someone more conservative.

Rand lost a lot of credibility with me when he rather naively started on the cutting all foreign aid kick.
Look, I happen to agree with him about that. Screw foreign aid.
I know it's a pittance in the larger scheme of things, but it's still stupid. And not a 'pittance' the to the fucking madmen we give most of it to.
But hey - you can have your opinion. I probably won't think nearly as harshly of you for it as you may about me - I don't think it's that huge of a deal. And Paul doesn't seem to either.
So long as you don't try to go all character assassin on him and paint it as targeting Israel, because that is a lot of BS.

In the end, we've got to stick to the plan of a hostile takeover of the Republican Party.
Primary the douchebags out, elect someone who will cut gov't spending.
Defeat Democrats.
Rinse repeat, until the Reps fear getting kicked out of their cushy jobs by the voters more than they like Washington DC parties with Dims.
A recall or two of some RINOs some Reps get their heads on straight.

Taking over from within hasn't worked out so well. All the worst assholes have seniority and when it's their 'turn', they get the higher positions.
Seriously, if we had won the Senate and 'weak chin' McConnell were in charge, would we have gotten a better deal?

Proceduralists.
If they want to have a sense of duty maybe they should have defended the Constitution against shit like McCain-Feingold (or Obamacare).
At any rate - the battle is existential. Beat the dems. Better a live bastard than a dead gentleman.

The leadership is betting heavily on loyalty to Boehner and a desire to move on to larger budget battles to hold together the rank and file. “This fight is over, move on to the next one,” said House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon (R-Calif.).

Obama’s speech at The George Washington University fed into a new round of partisan sniping, and Republicans were privately baffled that the president gave no heads-up to Boehner when the two men were negotiating the final deal last week on 2011 spending.

It's been1 election.
You replaced like 10% of them.
You thought that was a takeover?
As has been pointed out by others:
ITS THE SAME FUCKING PEOPLE.
IT'S LITERALLY ALL THE SAME EXACTPEOPLE.
They haven't even changed their names. The 2000-2006 lot.
You swapped out like 70 out of 500, called it a 'takeover', and then declare the takeover a failure.
Really not even - not all 2010 candidates were even tea party candidates.
And some tea party candidates are fucking corrupt liars.
We can't really even count our chickens yet because politicans are sneaky devious bastards.
I'm prepared to say we got at least 1 seat in the senate, maybe as much 6 seats...
And perhaps 20 or 30 in the house.
That's genuine Tea Party. The rest is still mostly legacy RINO, minus the handful of good incumbants we had (Pence, Bachman, DeMint, etc).
ITS THE SAME EXACT SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.

Why did we ever move away from the CR method when we were extracting more and would have eventually been able to draft a short little budget at the end? Absolutely stupid.

Two members of the House Democratic leadership team, Caucus Chairman John Larson (Conn.) and Vice Chairman Xavier Becerra (Calif.), told The Hill they would oppose the 2011 spending deal, while Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (Md.) said he might vote ‘yes’ but has not committed to supporting the bill.
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) has kept silent on her position, and senior Democrats said they have not been told how she plans to vote.
“We’ll see,” is all Pelosi would tell The Hill when asked her position late Thursday.

You're such and optimist.
At the rate we're going, not only will our kids not have trains or the money to ride them, they will be saddled with a trillion in debt each while eking out and existence as a Chinese laborer, working for no wages and making crappy stuff to stock the shelves of Walmart in Saudi Arabia (the last location on the globe).
On the plus side, there will still be cowboy poetry.

Remember how when they regained control of the House the Republicans were all out there saying "Yeah, we know we screwed up last time and we understand this is our last chance and we won't do that again."?
Well, they don't remember. Or they don't care. Seriously, for all the money they must spend on PR did they really think all this crap of "well, we might only be reducing the deficit by piss this year but we promise it will payoff big time in future years" was going to cut it? Because if they did, they are dumber than I thought, and I thought they were pretty fucking dumb. As if we don't understand that those "cuts" can easily be undone then.
I know many people on these threads have said we've got to primary Boehner and Rogers (and Cantor), but seriously, we can't let this anger subside and if someone in the respective states can point out to us morons some credible challengers I'm sure we'll rise to the occassion.

Beck has this audio of Sanchez. It's shocking that she was ever elected although the commenters seem to have some insight into how she was elected and some criticism for our wussy congress. But wow, is she a bigot, straight up, no apologies.
Amazing how the vermin seem to come out too. There's a poster there claiming that Mexico is taking back the land that the US stole from them. Funny poster advised it isn't their land cause they killed the Indians to get it and so the Indians should get the land back if anyone.
The world has gone stark raving mad.

If I hear people continue to say thing like "Keep the powder dry for Ryan's plane" again, I'm going to scream.
Here is where we are obviously at.The Tea Party leaders are standing strong....and....There aren't enough of them.
We have the same establishment types running the Republican party who are using the "EXACT" same playbook with the lies,deceit and self serving gambits that brought the country to the point it is now.
Ryan's plan needs to at least be quadruple checked by outside sources to see if this isn't just another ploy for the Nero types to look good while the country burns, and that the plan does what it says it will.
It is unfortunate but this years crop of leaders needed to lead on conviction and principles that the American people by and large need to get us back on track, those who we're given another chance to make things right have not changed.I no longer think they can/will, it's all about them, sad to say.

I'll believe that solving the budget crisis is more important than political sops when the people who keep telling me that solving the budget crisis is more important than political sops start acting like solving the budget crisis is more important than political sops.

I'd like to know how it was 3-1 against Boehner.
Who were the 3 and where does McConnell fall into it?
Because I'm thinking it was Obama, Reid, and McConnell negotiating against Boehner. Pelosi really doesn't have any power or leverage to negotiate being in the minority in the House.
