I cant speak for the staffers. I can speak for what I am seeing the republicans, continuing the attempt to cut spending. All of the proposals are detailed in the link that I provided.

If they cant reach the $100 million mark by years end, at least they did try to cut spending, while the democrats told us that they would use pay-go,the democratic lead congress has raised the national debt $5 TRILLION

 

OPTIMISM MY DEAR,,,,optimism..Any cuts are good cuts, today..

 

Cutting off the little finger of a hand infected with gangrene will not save the patient.

I know where the Republicans can make a quick and easy budget cut.
Cut all taxpayer funded health care for Congress and their staffs.
Nearly all members of Congress are wealthy, so they can afford to buy their own health insurance.

Besides, if taxpayer funded health care is as evil as the Republicans claim, the first thing the Republicans need to end is taxpayer funded health care for Congress.

 

Wellfare as a buget item isnt all that big.Cutting that only exposes the most vulnerable of our population while accomplishing little in terms of actual spending.

There is a wonderful little video (I will post the link) that helps put 100 million dollars in perspective to the rest of the buget.It also by default helps to put a billion dollars in perspective.

Ace,
We both know the Republicans don't have the guts to eliminate taxpayer funded health care for Congress.

The Republicans will fail at their attempt to repeal health care reforms, but they will look up and say, "See! We tried!", then the Republicans will go back to what they do best--giving tax cuts to the wealthy.

 

Long odds on the elitist Liberal Democrats not remembering 2010 come 2012.

Their self righteousness will bite them in the ass once again. They are convinced that the electorate are a bunch of fools.

 

You'd be changing your tune mighty quick if they made cuts that hurt the economy. Yes, such a thing can happen

By and large said electorate is.

Call the last one an elitist Liberal Democrat and I will probably die of laughter.

 

Not an elitist liberal Democrat, but Professor of Law who has identified the Democrats secret to electoral success, "drive the fools to the polls".

The Democrat precinct leaders are famous for getting the uneducated out to vote, there efforts in the inner cities of America are legend. So it is no wonder these voters don't know who won what.

 

So in other words: The electorate isn't stupid, except when it is. Then it is stupid. Democrats are elitist. Rah Rah conservative hypocrite posts angrily on sex board!

 

There's plenty of evidence on the web that states the democrats poke and prod to get democrat votes, from supplying cigarettes to ice cream,, the young and the homeless are targets for the democrats. Those are generally the uneducated to the ways of life.

 

Angrily?

Not angry, just concerned for your sanity.

The Democrats are elitist, they think they have all the answers, when they get their asses handed to them, they blame the stupid red states. Yet they are losing on their home turf, they have underestimated the voters. Wasn't enough buses available to stuff the ballot boxes. apparently.

 

They did not do a complete reversal of the plan, just a modification of the end result. They are still going to go through with their original plan, just will not be able to achieve the total they originally wanted.

 

This Republican Party, of which you speak.... ... ... will there be balloons? :lol:

 

Most probably filled with helium so we can all have those weird voices.

 

ohyay they're the best kind!!

We tie cocktail sausages to them and send them from one end of the room to the other - even if the person we 'send' it to ask for a volauvent - or however you spell the damn thing :awesome:

 

I'd like to see one of those try to fly if you tie it to my sausage :awesome:

 

I reckon I'd need a hot air balloon for you, you sexy hunk of man-meat ewe
