Boner/GOP - No New Revenue - We Will Only Agree To Cuts. What More Cuts?

[TheMastersNemesis]

So sequestration is not good enough because it was not ALL domestic cuts and did not include Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. So I guess he is saying that they will pursue more draconian cuts because these are not good enough. Or perhaps that they will relent if Obama ends and restores funds to Defense and tax cuts to the rich.

1. No future agreements will be cuts only or revenues only.

I think we're looking at the status quo for a while to come, possibly with a shutdown as the Republicans do not get their way when Obama and the Democrats refuse to support their cuts only approach to the budget.

2. Could be letting things shut down will

finally put an end to the tea party. People will miss their government when they don't have it. Like libertarians tea party folks can say what ever shit they want about the government because they feel it really won't go away. Well let them put their money where their bull shit is.

3. And that is the crazy part of it all

republicans have been actively making government more ineffective and bloated with corruption. It is in their mindset to decimate the government and instill a nation run by the wealthy and corporate interests. If the government is shutdown conservatives and libertarians will only blame the 'dysfunctional' government. In short, no matter what is done the republicans have their way with this country. It has been that way since the Nixon years.

4. Well I'm still holding out hope that the hordes of us

unwashed poor and lower middle class will take over the reins of government.
