FISCAL CLIFF DEAL: $1 IN SPENDING CUTS FOR EVERY $41 IN TAX INCREASESBoehner is a bonehead.According to the Congressional Budget Office, the last-minute fiscal cliff deal reached by congressional leaders and President Barack Obama cuts only $15 billion in spending while increasing tax revenues by $620 billion—a 41:1 ratio of tax increases to spending cuts.
.........Oh, and to put the magnitude of this republican collapse in perspective, THIS is the republican house which we are hoping will stop the AWB freight train?
We are screwed, blued, and tattooed.
Someone needs to ask Senator Cornyn to explain why he voted in favor of this mess. And ask him to reply in no-non-sense Texas terms, not some Washington Beltway politician double-speak. Its the backroom deal stuff that is really ticking me off. I am opposed to that which affects my liberties, it ain't just about the money, but an indicator of standing one's ground or giving in to look good, a matter of PRINCIPLES...I don't care if they are doing it for Karl Marx, Agenda 21, the Bilderberg Group, The Illuminati, Mother Earth, space aliens, the ancient fire god Moloch or all of them rolled into one. I just want them to come out and say "You stupid peasants just aren't smart enough to understand, now make obeisance and tug your forelock as we come by", that would at least let you know where folks stand...but nope, better to obfuscate the situation and play little games, little wordy parlor-tricks. Ridiculous. Due to this kind of "bi-partisan" thing now I want to know: is our esteemed Senator Cornyn going to "play ball" with the Democrats on gun control, too?

There are a whole lot of GOP Senators that should be looking for new jobs.
I cannot believe that Paul Ryan voted for this catastrophe.

There is no Republican party. Unbelievable.
