CNN TV Breaking - Boehner will rewrite his plan to add more cuts!

[gateley]

That's all so far. Just a snip from someone standing in front of the WH.

[katnapped]

1. Start with their salaries

$0 sounds reasonable

[originalpckelly]

2. More fucking cuts?

:rofl:

Oh my.

The plan is not anti-middle class enough, so they're going to add more cuts to it?

[gateley]

3. The Club for Growth (who the fuck is that??) won't support his

original budget, so that sent Boehner scurrying.

The CfG's weaselly little spokesman is on there now. Do they all whine? Is that a job requirement? That, and a refusal to look at the fact?

[Inuca]

7. The Club for Growth

if I am not mistaken are the lovelies that gave us senator Toomey (PA) instead of keeping good old Arlen (Specter) that I confess I kind of liked or... sorry, I can't think right now of the congressman with a military background that defeated Specter in the primary and then lost to Toomey.

[gateley]

9. There are so many groups whose underlying focus seems to

be cutting costs (understandable) at the expense of the Common Guy (unforgivable). What flummoxes me is that the Common Guy too often supports these insidious organizations.

[Ruby the Liberal]

13. Joe Sestak

Who would have made a fantastic Senator.

[Inuca]

29. Yes, thanks!

to you and to the other answers below. I had on the tip of my fingers so to say but could not come up with the name :blush:

[Ruby the Liberal]

33. I helped with his campaign. AWESOME guy.

:hi:

[dgibby]

26. ADM Joe Sestak, USN, Ret n/t

[karynnj]

28. Joe Sestak - and both he and Spector are infinitely better than Toomey nt

[Inuca]

4. It was scored by CBO

and they found his math funny, in other words it was cutting roughly one third less than it claimed.

[gateley]

5. Oops.

:blush:

I'm sure it was an honest mistake, fellas.

[HockeyMom]

6. Cuts for millionaires and billionaires?

Wanna buy a bridge?

[gateley]

8. Oh, please -- that's not even being whispered about. We're

talking cuts, not tax hikes!

They wouldn't even try to pull that off -- I don't think. :hi:

[Cool Logic]

10. Evidently, Hoyer failed to deliver enough votes to off-set the TP.

[Ruby the Liberal]

11. Yeah - been making the twitter rounds for about an hour or so. CBO scoring

was so bad they didn't even bother to defend or double down. They are writing additional cuts into the bill according to Michael Steel (Boehner spox)

[eleny]

12. Why, he's just like...like...like - jello

[gateley]

14. Bwah! Right ON! nt

[eleny]

15. It's as if every word out their mouths is projection

:hi:

[Skidmore]

16. KO reporting this as well.

I refuse to listen to CNN which has become FOXLite.


Apparently, Boehner couldn't get enough votes on his side to support it.

[RKP5637]

17. +1, CNN sucks. n/t

[Renew Deal]

18. Another plan that won't pass.

:shrug:

[Skidmore]

21. It was another plan that the President said he would veto.

Per KO and Ryan Grimm.

[gateley]

24. Jeez, can't keep track of them all! New plan almost hourly! nt

[Cali_Democrat]

19. What a clown. n/t

[TBF]

20. Cuts in defense spending - because that's where most of the budget goes?? nt

[Proud Liberal Dem]

22. He's just doubling down

He's making it even LESS likely that it's ever going to get through the Senate, let alone to the President's desk (and he's not going to sign it anyway).

[October]

31. Bingo! Doubling down is the republican way.

It's their favorite tactic.

[Angry Dragon]

23. Good thing we have Professional Politicians on the job

[gateley]

25. Yeah, sure helps me sleep at night knowing our lives are in caring hands.

:rofl:

[KoKo]

27. THESE "Caring Hands?" Photo:

Ugh:

[Inuca]

30. OMG

they played golf together, instead of knifing wach other.

[gateley]

32. Boehner's looking a little pudgy. Or should I say bloated? nt

[upi402]

34. I almost forgot about CNN

:puke:
