Why don't House Rs send over an item by item budget?

his stock keeps ticking up in my book. seems to be a principled dude.

Cruz: (to the 800,000 furloughed), "I took your jobs, so divvy up my salary!"

So now it's Cruz's shutdown?

I hope for your sake you're better at drinking rye whiskey and adding to AGW through your oil services business than you are at trolling.
 
that is the point..

if the fricken Republican leadership had a half a brain and I know they do, they would send over the budget by department or section.

Then leftist cheerleaders and liars could not get away with blaming republicans and every part of the govt as we know would be funded.

It would be the democrats not voting dept by dept.

what does it tell you when 850000 gubberment employees get laid off and nothing happens? And they try to make it hurt. I think they should lay off the whole dhs, tsa, and anyone involved in the nsa big brother project.. forever. truly non-essential.
 
krauthammer is really starting to make me sick.
his advice last night is disgusting.
The R leadership is all of a sudden going to stand firm in 3 weeks when default is threatened... what a lying sellout.

This is a far bigger issue. It is far more important.

Now is the time now is the place.
He spoke of winning... I know you are smart Charles... you want to give winning advice... here it is.

Send over the budget section by section with a provision extend the debt ceiling by that much. They win on both issues... and the people win.

And we save a few trillion.
The markets could explode.
Jobs could explode.

State from now on this is how the budget will be done.
This was how it was designed to be done.
Its why the house has the power of the purse.
The bastards who voted obamacare in... were such slime they delayed the beginning of it.

They got voted out. So what happens.
The new group gets to vote... Obamacare does not get funding.

That is how the system was set up.
Its time the Rs stand up.


Quote from PiggyBank:

totally agree, send it over piece by piece. I can't disagree more with what i was hearing on the news last night. This is the wrong fight blah blah. This is the only fight, and the reps need to stand their ground and not cave. the debts have to be paid and the ceiling has to be raised. Passing a budget is also the law and it's not happening, this is the way to make it happen. don't puss out boehner.

they could also suspend their own pay as a gesture that they give a fuck. I know it's only symbolic but it would make them look good.

Hmm...too many government employees? :)

There are currently 4.37 million which is 3% of the US workforce.

If it were true it would tell me that Cruz's gesture is empty.

I'm all for a real shootout between the Senate and House (CiC too). :D
I think the tea partiers might be running out of ammo. Five more to jump ship and the votes will be there to pass a clean CR.

The President needs to flip 5 Republicans to get what he wants.
Why is he putting pressure on the most conservative wing of the House?
Obama should try flipping 5 moderate republicans who were elected from districts that went to Obama. These are the easiest republican votes to trade for.

ANSWER: Obama does not want to get 5 more votes. He wants to blame Tea party Congressman , votes Obama would never ,ever win.
