Boehner is an idiot. "Sequestration" is the law of the land, the same as Obamacare is. You can't just ignore the law because it is politically expedient. Republicans selling out on the reductions in spending increases associated with sequestration are liars of the worst sort. Well, maybe not as bad as the lying fear mongers within the Dem party that paint reductions in spending increases as disasters, but close.
Uhmm...you do know that the senate and congress along with the signing power of the president make the laws right? And then if the laws are challenged the supreme court can real on the constitutionality of them.....right?
You also know they are following the law when they vote and decide these things....right?
What is really telling about our political culture is that we think sequestration actually constitutes significant cuts. Sequestration isn't even a spending cut...it's a slowdown. Further, it's more telling of how difficult it will be for us to ever actually engage in significant cuts. We can't even handle a slowdown without significant unrest. It's laughable when looking at the projections of with or without a "deal." The "cuts" made are so inconsequential that it makes the crys of these cuts being significant impacts seem laughable.
He just wants the cash that they have come to expect the past 3 years. The "temporary" stimulus spending is now part of the regular budget, cute trick that was, and plus normal built in spending increases, GOP and Democrats are in hog heaven.
The idea is not to grow the government but at a slower rate by using new taxes. The idea is to cut the size of the government. The sequesters calls for a fairly (in relative terms) nice cut in defense spending. This is something that the "left" had wanted for decades. I don't understand, why would they all of a sudden be against this?
You act as if NO law has ever been replaced by another law.
At one time blacks and women couldn't vote. Prohibition laws were cancelled. 55 MPH was once the "law of the land" I could go on and on but, you probaly still wouldn't get it.
Your assertion that, " You can't just ignore the law" is pure poppycock and based on nothing.
But wasn't that exactly the liberal position on Obamacare? It's settled law and you shouldn't do anything to try and change it?
