I hope just to tick off the stinker in the whitehouse the repubs cut the budget by 75 percent, then when it comes back, neg. to a 69 percent cut. It's not deep enough, but that would be a good start.

"Stinker"? You mean the trickster, taking advantage of those ill equipped to defend themselves from being manipulated, don't you?

The sad truth is that had revenue grew between 2001 and 2009 as it had for decades before, the revenue would have been higher by 65% in 2009 when President Obama took the office.

How to work forward, it has to come from the Senate. Rational thought still exists there.

I'd like to see if Boehner can walk the walk with the extra F-35 engine being built in his district in Ohio. Its over a billion dollar entitlement. Does he have the balls to cut it from the budget?

I agree with you here. This is a ridiculous expense and needs to be cut - along with the rest of this budget.

Another lie and budgetary gimmick from obama;

White House Ignores Interest Payments in Claiming to Control Debt - FoxNews.com

Quote:
To justify the administration claim, Lew said the administration was merely referring to "primary balance" -- or federal spending minus interest payments.

"The terminology that we use in Washington of primary balance is a little confusing," Lew said.

"It's because I believe it's dishonest," Ensign shot back.
Oh yes, more than dishonest.

Do you have no shame?

Hint: The article is targeting non-thinkers who would run around with it.

Listen to this great question and follow up by Tapper and the goggledegook by Carney.

Obama did not include the almost trillion dollars in debt from interest.

I predict this Carney guy will not last very long.
