God, you people are so partisian, you can't even determing what's in your own best interest. Pay as you go, doen'st give Democrats the authority to do anything they can't pay for. There are enough republicans and moderate democrats to stop liberals and progressives using the tax code willy nilly.
You guys need to wake up. And I've got to say, it was the scrapping of Pay as you go by the GOP that cleared the way for Dubya's tax cuts and his drug bill; because they didn't have to figure out to pay for them
Think how different it would have been if Dubya had to come up with $350 billion is spending cuts at the same time he gave the rich their tax cut. There would be no deficit. No deficit means that pulling the economy from the brink of disaster would not have been as expensive. And who knows, if they had paid for all of their great ideas, the economy may not have run off the cliff at all!!

I don't know why they don't get it. Pay As You Go is self explanatory.
There's nothing in it that says raising taxes is the way to go. Spending only what we have is how it was done during the Clinton years. That's what we need to get back to.
Yep cut off all federal spending for State and local prisons and jails.
Cut off all federal education spending.
Federal highway spending.
Fire, police, Air traffic controlers and TSA.
Federal education subsidies.
FDA, Health research, Vaccinations, We did n't need that pesky Polio vaccine anyway.
pay as you go is all about raising taxes to match spending. Spending itself isnt cut. How about we just restore the Republic and cut the programs the Constitution never authorized to begin with?
No, pay as you go is about ending deficit spending.
Congress cannot spend money without paying for it, like the way it was done during the Clinton admin. Bush ended that policy and spent wildly on 2 wars, medicare drug entitlement and tax cuts for the rich. That's why we have an 11 trillion dollar debt. It was 5 trillion when Bush took office.
The tax cuts for the rich will expire this year and go back to what it was under Clinton. That will help cut the deficit.
The Iraq war will end. That will help cut the deficit.
Don't vote Republican unless you want to end pay as you go.
If you like deficit spending, vote Republican.

Abstained: 14 (Democrat: 8; Republican: 6)
House Roll Call #48 Details - OpenCongress
Republican politicians vote against pay as you go. They apparently like deficit spending.
Right wing sheep - stop believing their lies. They aren't trying to balance the budget. They vote against it.
They are hypocrites and liars.
How does raising taxes and crippling the economy stop deficit spending?
You want to stop deficit spending. Then cut spending.
And yes, there are some Republicans lie about wanting to stop deficit spending. But Id rather vote for someone who promises to lower the deficit then someone who promises to increase it.
You mean you'd rather vote for someone who promises to lower the deficit but votes no when it comes right down to it.
You're a liar lover and you'd rather vote for liars.

hey stupid read the top of the link you posted where it states
h.j.res.45:
Increasing the statutory limit on the public debt
the republicans did not want to increase the limits on public debt. And i'm glad they voted they way they did. It increases the statutory limit on the public debt from $12.104 trillion to $13.029 trillion.
The Republicans were not about to sign onto legislation that would give the Democrats license to hike taxes across the board on everything that is and isn't nailed down in this country. When you have a 'pay as you go' system without spending roll backs and a mega-trillion dollar budget with no savings forecast for years ahead, that would have been a sure prescription to completely crash the economy.
The title of a bill doesn't always tell even part of the true story, much less all of it.
We can still hope and pray that we vote out enough irresponsible Democrats and RINOs and vote in enough fiscal conservatives in the next election to give us a fighting chance to recover from the current economic insanity.

That is a ridiculous rationalization.
Pay-as-you-go is just what it says.
You all complain about the deficit, but don't want to take any steps to reduce it.
When Republicans controlled government, they built up 5 Trillion dollars in debt with their endless policies of lowering taxes and spending.
The fact is that tax levels are well below the level for optimum revenue, as dictated by the Laffer Curve, which was the Republican guide to lowering taxes in the first place.
And having higher taxes than we have now didn't "cripple" the economy during the Reagan or the Clinton years. Not to mention during the 40's, 50's or 60's.
Talking about not raising taxes now, during an economic crisis and 2 Wars is just a bunch of populist bullshit.

Well some self flagillation and sacrificing of chickens will also be required.

Congratulations you've just earned a spot on my ignore list. Fucking trolls like you needs to be drawn and quartered!

That's going to allow government to continue to function for the time being, as tax revenue has decreased dramatically thanks to the economic meltdown.
You can't just cut the budget on the fly, and up and decide not to pay people.
Of course, if you'd like the entire federal government to be frozen, and our troops to go unpaid until the point we can get spending under control, well I guess that's one way to go...
