Last week, 19 of the most conservative Republicans in the House began jeering at Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., while he was teetering at the midpoint of a familiar GOP high-wire act.Despite his failed run for the vice-presidency in 2012, Ryan is said to have presidential ambitions. But he also has governing responsibilities. And he’s trying to eke out a narrow budget agreement with his Senate counterpart, Patty Murray, D-Wash., to simultaneously ease sequestration’s automatic spending cuts and reduce the threat of a government shutdown for the next couple of years.The emerging deal (details of which remain tightly held) would spare the GOP’s most sacred cows. If inked, it wouldn’t raise revenue through the tax code, and would protect the Defense Department from sequestration’s most severe cuts. At the same time, some of the savings in the deal would likely come out of the hide of federal workers who will be required to contribute more to their pension.It will just as likely contain no provision to renew emergency provisions for the long-term unemployed, which are about to lapse.But it’s still not good enough for the right.These 19 conservatives didn’t exactly say the deal should go down. But in a letter to House GOP leadership, they basically opposed the terms of the negotiation and pressed Speaker John Boehner to bring legislation to the floor that would undercut it.
no matter what you hear on Fox or out of their mouths in the end it always comes back to them sticking it to "we the people", when it comes to revenue and your rights it's deny it and pry it, out of your pocket to support the defense spending that they told republicans they didn't want,
and after causing the 750,000 jobs amonth loss, sure if you are still unemployed yours was one on them they want to cut you off at the knees by refusing to pass the AJC Pres.'s jobs bill over a million jobs, instead they want the leaking keystone which will create maybe 20,000 jobs.
“[W]e encourage you to allow a vote as soon as practicable on a full-year ‘clean CR’ funding bill at the levels established in law by the Budget Control Act,” the letter reads. “Democrats are not interested in solving the problems created by the sequester: they are only interested in using the threat of the cuts as leverage to increase spending across the board, to increase our national debt, and to raise taxes and fees.”Nineteen signatures isn’t a huge showing. A House version of the “defund Obamacare” letter that prefigured the government shutdown this October had many times more signatories. But it’s also just a start. A Monday statement from the conservative advocacy group Heritage Action is best read as an effort to increase the signature count on that letter.
i know you see this for what it is, Clinton, "takes a lot of brass to accuse someone of what you do", i notice this switcheroo by republicans has been going on awile now. like i said they do the dirt then try and sweep it on Pres.'s shoes.
“Democrats are not interested in solving the problems created by the sequester: they are only interested in using the threat of the cuts as leverage to increase spending across the board, to increase our national debt, and to raise taxes and fees.”
who's using cuts for leverage, would that be those known as the hostage takers? who said after last bout "we still have the deficit and were ready for a fight", who's zoomon' who?
