House Continues Debate on Spending Bill; GOP Demands More Cuts

As a Democrat, I never thought I would be saying this, I sure miss Bill Frist as the GOP Speaker of the House. Since the Republicans have the majority, sure wish there was an intelligent Rep in there. Boo Hooing is ridiculous. Orange tans are silly. Boehner always gripes about Democrats and the President having no plays. Yet when has he ever had any coherent solution to any government problem. It is okay with him for people to loose jobs. A wise person knows that sometimes you have to spend money to make money. Does anyone remember the parable in the Bible where 3 men were given the same amount of money. At the end of the time period, one man saved his money and Jesus said that he looses because he didn't do anything to make the money grow and help people, Man 2 wasted his money...he lost also. The 3rd man, went out and his money grew and he helped people. Jesus praised him. Of course, I didn't quote this properly, but that was the message.
Boehner and the GOP along with the tea badgers should study their Bible better. they only thing they find in the Bible is hate and destruction. You really have to pity them.

I have a great ideal. Lets start out with government cuts, recall al Republicans at about $200,000.00 pay per Republican times about lets say 400 Republicans that would be 80,000,000.00 (eighty million) dollars. It's a start since they ship jobs overseas lets ship them overseas also and we can save money. Ultra Rich people don't need tax cuts, if you make 10 million a year and if you had to pay half in taxes, you would still make more money per year than 98% of the people in the United States. Some tell that to the Koch (crook) brothers.

How about 10 percent cuts on EVERYTHING, instead of mega cuts on things people need.

I just read what the speaker wants to push forward dear god help us all if it gets passed thats all i can say

The Republicans will have alot more credibility when they start cutting their own pay and benefits. Why is it that when times get tough, Congress expects the people who can least afford it to sacrifice?

How about the GOP start with themselves. I don't see them leading by example. Take a pay cut. Look how much that would save. Pay your own way - my private health insurance.

You did it again lefty.

How many of them have agreed not to collect paychecks for the next 3 years?

i am sure that the first line in the cut the budget bill was:

We, the republicans (and democrats too), reduce our federal salaries by 35% and that of our staff by 25%. We, also, will increase our financial share to our "free health care for life", to our retirements/pensions for life and too any other state funded benefits to which we are entitled to for life. we also forbid becoming lobbists for life and of using honorifics after leaving office.

I think the elected officels have forgoten. We The People. Maybe we need to march on washington to. If all the working class people in this country just call in sick for one day maybe the republican and tea party and their big business partners pocket book would get the message. All we have to do is don't drive and don't work. Lets give them a pay cut. all aboard here we come.
