Who will America blame?

[Guns Guns Guns]

The 60-member Tea Party Caucus — balked at GOP House Speaker John Boehner’s compromise debt ceiling plan Thursday. So he scrambled yesterday, adding a measure to force a vote on a balanced budget amendment to his proposal, which the House finally passed last night.


“We’re the people that are going to say, ‘No,’ to Washington, D.C., taxing and spending,” U.S. Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas), a member of the Tea Party Caucus, said on the House floor yesterday.


But just two hours after the Tea Party’s House victory, the GOP plan was rejected by the Democratic-controlled Senate. And the gridlock continued.


If leaders on Capitol Hill can’t reach a deal to raise the debt ceiling and the nation defaults on its bills, Tea Party leaders acknowledged that Republicans could take the fall at the polls next year.


“It is a possibility that public opinion could shift. There are segments out there doing their best to make that happen,” Tea Party Nation chief Judson Phillips told the Herald…

The 60-member Tea Party Caucus — balked at GOP House Speaker John Boehner’s compromise debt ceiling plan Thursday. So he scrambled yesterday, adding a measure to force a vote on a balanced budget amendment to his proposal, and the House finally passed out last night.


“We’re the knights who say, ‘Ni,’ to Washington, D.C., taxing and spending,” The Mad Hatter, Pete Sessions (R-Texas), a member of the Tea Party Caucus, said on the House floor yesterday.


But just two hours after the Tea Party’s House victory, the GOP plan was rejected by the Democratic-controlled Senate. And the gridlock continued.

Well...... you don't honestly take these loonies seriously, do you. 'Another cup of tea?' 'I can't have another cup,' said Alice.

you're a bunch of fucking hypocritical morons.

1. you decry and deplore the adamant stance that TEA party members elected to office who are doing the job their constituents elected them for


2. you rally and scream support for the other group of elected representatives who passed a health care reform bill despite the majority of american citizens who told them don't do it.

viva la revolucion, welcome to the new world.

Yea well welcome to governing. You're expected to get shit done when your elected and not make fanatical stands. Two thirds of the American public disagree with Tea Party activist and are calling for progressive spending cuts. Ignore that fact at your own political risk and don't come cying to me in 2012 when you wind up out on your political asses cause you didn't.

#1. There are many ways to bring down the debt. Cutting programs for the poor while giving tax breaks to the wealthy is not what the people want. Polls have shown people do not want social programs cut.

#2. That was because of the deliberate misconception and lies such as death panels. Every country, without exception, have not only welcomed government involvement in medical care but insist on never returning to a "pay or suffer" system.

Now that the first step has been taken regarding government medical Obama's next term will most likely involve the tying in of Medicaid and Medicare. Imagine the massive savings if all those different medical programs were combined. All the corresponding bureaucracies rolled into one. It could even involve businesses not being obliged to offer any medical coverage as everyone would be covered. That, alone, would be a huge boost to business, although, I'm sure small businesses would find something else to whine about.

It has to. SS currently runs a surplus and even if started to run a deficit it's an easy fix. There's no reason to touch SS other then for political ideology. The only way medicare-medicaid spending can be curtailed is to absorb it into health care reform. Creating a single payer system and price controls for medicare payments will go a long way towards fixing that problem. That would only leave defense which accounts, in all its forms, for half of all spending.

We need to with draw from Iraq/Afghanistan, as were over extended with no clear mission or clear and present danger that justifies our presense their. We then need to moth ball a few fleets, air wings and expensive weapons programs we don't really need.
