Why Would The Media Prop Up "Tammy Faye Boehner"?
I find it a little strange that the media is propping up John Boehner. Before this most recent budget deal, Boehner has NOT been a media darling. This begs the question why now?
It has now been confirmed that establishment Republicans are not going to try to stop Obama Care, and will not move to reduce the deficit. Even the most generous efforts put the Republican budget cutting only about 38 billion from the national deficit.
The U.S. government, on course to reach a record annual budget deficit, posted a monthly shortfall of $188.2 billion in March, wider than a year earlier, Treasury Department statistics showed today.
Last month’s deficit was up from a $65.4 billion gap in March 2010, when the government marked down the cost of the Troubled Assets Relief Program by $115 billion.
The White House and Congress last week reached agreement on a spending plan for the current fiscal year, which started Oct. 1, and face another fiscal hurdle next month with the prospect of reaching the statutory debt limit of more than $14 trillion. Last week’s agreement averted a shutdown of government agencies.
“The last-minute agreement to cut government spending and avert a federal government shutdown is a start, but realistically the budget cut amount is just a drop in the bucket,” Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd. in New York, said before the report.
The establishment Republicans have to go! Obama Care is now off the table, and what is a 38 billion dollar cut (over nearly a year) when the debt increases at 6.5 billion each day?
If this country doesn't wake up soon and get rid of these elitist Republicans, we're all going down with the ship. I agree with Pat Caddell; I don't think that the Republicans want to get rid of Obama Care, they just want to be the ones to control it.
