REPUBLICANS WE SENT YOU TO DC TO TAKE A STAND SO QUIT PLAYING GAMES AND CUT SPENDING OR SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN
My time is limited today so this post is going to be short and to the point. The Continuing Resolution passed nearly three weeks ago is quickly coming to an end. House and Senate, "negotiators," have been hammering out an agreement to prevent a government shut down. According to sources in DC there has been a tentative agreement and if this is the case I am NOT a happy camper.
According to sources the agreement calls for $33 billion dollars in cuts which is $23 billion more than Democrats had originally agreed to but doesn't even scratch the surface and will have NO impact on current deficits, spending and debt. In fact the interest alone per day on the current debt of almost $15 trillion dollars is nearly $40 billion dollars more than this proposed cut for the current budget year.
So while the negotiation game is being played for a measly pittance we go $72 billion dollars more in debt in just interest alone EVERY DAY! When we voted Republicans in last November we voted them in to take a strong a meaningful stand on fiscal discipline by dramatically cutting spending, eliminating deficits and begin reversing our massive debt. We understood it would not happen overnight but we also expected quick and deep cuts to begin the process.
Republicans are so afraid of shutting down the government that they have become willing participants in the Democrat lie that it will cost votes and make Americans mad if government is shut down. To the GOP in both the House and Senate I say this, it is NOT 1995 and the American people aren't buying into the usual liberal lie that shutting down the government will starve kids and put grandma out on the street.
We understand that so called essential services will continue, many of which we as conservatives disagree with but never the less they will continue. We also understand the necessity of having a tool in which to force Democrats to agree to deep and meaningful cuts. We sent the GOP to DC to take a stand and we expect that stand to be taken. Quit playing the negotiation game and the usual DC song and dance and MAKE SERIOUS CUTS IN SPENDING. If the Dems won't get on board THEN SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN!
The majority of Americans favor shutting down the government if it means serious cuts are being made in the process. Quit listening to the whining Democrats and do what we sent you to Washington to do. Take a principled stand and make the cuts necessary to begin getting our fiscal house in order.
Stop with the meaningless few billion here or 30 billion there and begin forcing cuts in the hundreds of billions even if it means entitlements are on the chopping block. This is why we sent you to DC and this is what we the people expect. We are tired of the games and the rhetoric and we demand real and meaningful action or we will boot current Republicans out of office and replace them not with Dems because they have NO interest in listening to the people but we will find real conservative to do what we expect.....that is IF we can financially survive until the next election.
MAKE THE BIG SPENDING CUTS NOW, SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN AND FORCE REAL CUTS AND DEMOCRATS TO COMPROMISE. STOP COMPROMISING WITH DEMS WHO HAVE NO INTEREST IN CUTTING SPENDING. WE THE PEOPLE DEMAND IT AND WE EXPECT IT NOW!

And of course the real framing for this story, the one that matters, is that Social Security is insolvent and Medicare is unsustainable. That’s where we are. That’s why the cuts are important now. However, Republicans are crazy if they think any of those contexts will be brought up by the MSM. The story will be stripped of all such details and presented in a way that leads people to believe Republicans wanted a shutdown because they hate poor people.
One should not be surprised by the weak kneed reactions from the entrenched Rino scum the electorate stupidly put back into office! As such, their power is all that matters, certainly not the people! They're more worried about the assholes on the left who are going to blame them for something the Dems screwed up then showing the spine to stand up for what's right. SOP as usual!
Joe: At the risk of being tarred and feathered as a RINO, I do have to stick up for the GOP in Congress. Remember that we do NOT control the U.S. Senate or the White House. There is only so much the GOP in the House can do.
Yes, I am disappointed they don't go more hard core in pushing cuts but I suppose they understand that if they do, the Dems will refuse to go along anyway and still hang the cuts around their necks.
As I said after the 2010 election win, it's not enough to take the House. We need to take the Senate and the White House too. And that won't happen if we lose the Independents or if conservatives on our side aren't willing to stay the course.
Mike,
I agree with the fact that they only control one house.however, it doesn't change the fact that the entrenched idiots the electorate sent back are only looking for any way they can find to get out of doing anything and in turn keep their power. One would hope they would at least have the spine to vote as their constituents would want them to and bring the Dems to the table for serious discussion. That's my main problem with it!
