Government Shutdown Averted--Which Party Came Out on Top? - Nightline's Daily Line

So the REPUBICAN Leadership CAVED?

Surprised? Anyone?
Hoping against hope that it wasn't a cave.
Maybe just didn't want to allow the shutdown and is just waiting until we gain control of the Senate *too* to pass a bill, on it's own, to pull the funding.

In Debt...and already BLEEDING...
 
Business as usual.Total surrender by the GOP,Is time to clean house and vote them all out.The Tea party will now have to get bigger and split off the GOP.Both partys are corrupt and will NEVER
balance the budget!

They actually plan on raising the Pentagon budget by $6 billion. This, after Senate Democrats offered a deal for defense cuts about $10 billion. That was immediately rejected by the GOP however.

As I said previously, this was never about the money. It was about an agenda.

Defense cuts...while being embroiled in THREE engagements? The Latest by OBAMA himself? Are you stark-raving MAD?


Of course you are...you're a Statist.

the bloated budgets are what allow for wars of convenience by our imperialist "leaders". cut the budget by 3/4s and bring all the troops home.

The problem for the Tea Party is having a movement run on perpetual anger. It doesn't work for the socialists. Never mind the fact that the Tea Party has already been co-opted by the GOP and Conservative media.

CNN Poll: Unfavorable view of tea party on the rise – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs

Washington (CNN) - Nearly half of all Americans have an unfavorable view of the tea party movement, putting it in the same company as the Democratic and Republican parties, according to a new national poll.

A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Wednesday indicates that 32 percent of the public has a favorable view of the two year old anti-tax movement, which also calls for less government spending and a more limited role for the federal government in our lives. The 32 percent favorable rating is down five points from December.

Forty-seven percent of people questioned say they have an unfavorable view of the tea party, up four points from December and an increase of 21 points from January 2010. That 47 percent is virtually identical to the 48 percent unfavorable ratings for both the Democratic party and the Republican party in the same poll.
 
When push came to shove, it looks like the GOP wasn't going to follow through with another shutdown. $38 billion is certainly more than what has been proposed by both sides ($33 billion from the Dems, $30 billion from the GOP a few months ago) recently.

I just hope that Congress will not squander this opportunity to have a serious discussion about the budget without the hammer of a government shutdown swinging over the heads of federal employees. Wishful thinking perhaps, but I suppose we'll see.

*sigh* Modbert, this started at 100 billion.
 
That fuckin' Boner better not have caved. I don't trust that asshole.


The Sad truth is he almost had to. It appears nothing serious is going to get done about the Budget until the Republicans have more Power. In the End the specter of further damaging the Economy with a shut down beat out the Debt issue, The Republicans got the best they were going to get with the current division of Power in DC. IMO anyways.

The bases in Germany, Japan, England and elsewhere can be shut down in compensation, until the drawdowns for the most recent stupid deployments can be accomplished.

C'mon, dude, we're seriously over-extended and you know it.

You assume the entire defense budget is tied up in Afghanistan, Iraq, and now Libya. Tell me Thomas, why do we need bases in over 150 countries? Or bases in Germany, England, and Japan? World War II and the American Revolution are over.

The problem for the Blue Dog democrat is having a movement that is a perpetual lapdog. It doesn't work for the tea party. Never mind the fact that the Centrist democrat has already been co-opted by the Pro Union and Liberal media. :rolleyes:;)

lol... owned
 
Shutdown averted.
Cuts were made.

Dems acting like heroes for agreeing to cuts.
Repubs being hammered for not cutting enough.

When is the last time I heard the word "bipartisanship"?
 
do the 'tea partiers' feel retarded yet? they voted in neocon corporate scum and expected them to reign in a smaller government LOL

Don't worry were taking notes, and names. Any Republican not serious about cutting the Deficit is going to find it very hard to be re-elected. If that helps the Dems then so be it. Tea Party supporters, which I think I am becoming, Care about the Issues, more than helping Republicans win.

I say hats off to them. Fuck the Republicans, Fuck the Dems even more. At this point I would vote for a rock if I thought they would cut the Deficit, and reign in the fed.
