Isn't this liberal crap getting old. Open your eyes.

Riot did not say that. I think she meant to say that anything that IS wrong with the economy is the fault of George W. Bush in the past, and any Republicans in the present.

Certainly not the fault of the Annointed One - forgive me - no sacrelege intended

Ewww, you actually watch Hannity?

Anybody paying attention to the complete disaster the Republican Party & Tea Party marriage has become today in Washington? Boehner's "deal" scored below a trillion by CBO, while Harry Reids deal scored easily over a trillion, so Boehner used that excuse to pull his planned vote today from the floor - but the Tea Party already told him they wouldn't vote for it. And it was leaked today that Republicans are lobbying each other against Boehner.

The current Republican Party in the House is a complete disaster that literally cannot govern.

Because Boehner is an orange idiot.

I'm actually starting to feel a little sorry for the guy. He is a typical career politician, wholly owned by lobbyists. But at least he knows how to make a deal, and made a couple good ones with Obama for spending cuts and revenue increases, until the crazy Tea Party squashed it.

Eric Cantor has the guy by the balls. I don't know who wrote that speech they made him read the other night to rebut Obama, but even he was embarrassed by having to say those ridiculous words in public.

The trouble is, he and his little merry band of loons are mucking up the entire government of the United States with their temper tantrums and ignorant desire to harm this nation.

Can't blame this mess on the Tea Party. They didn't create the debt and they were elected to stop these globalist puppets from putting more on the credit card.

Adding debt will only make it a bigger problem long term. I'm fairly young. Old people need to sacrifice now.

We have bills for services we've already bought we have to pay. The Tea Party is saying we can't pay them. I do blame the Tea Party for this impasse on raising the debt ceiling. The budget and future spending is a different matter.

It's like telling your utility companies that although you've used enough electricity, gas and water last month that you now owe them $200, you've decided your debt ceiling is $100 so you won't pay for what you've already used.

I blame the RINOs and most of the Libs for being corporate whores. They need to "eat their peas"

To be fair the only reason Reid's plan saves $1+ trillion is that he makes reference to the winding down of wars where Boehner's plan does not.

Not to mention that unemployment will increase when the troops come home. It's estimated that unemployment would be 12% without the wars...minimum.

True. All the plans from both sides have alot of smoke and mirrors.

The point is zero plans should be considered right now. Raise the damn debt ceiling, it's a routine accounting procedure having nothing to do with future spending.

Then, if you are serious about cutting spending, and raising revenue, sit down and do it, and come up with all the plans you want, which you can implement whenever you want.

Choices:

Obama invokes the 14th because Boehner is literally prevented from doing anything by the Tea Party 5-1

House Dems save Boehner's ass by voting for the Senate Reid plan, with Boehner adding in 3/4 of the "normal" Republicans while allowing the 47 crazy Tea Party to be cut lose 10-1, I don't think he can pull it off. There is disastrous turmoil in that caucus, even with Wall Street calling the shots.
