Here we go again. It wasn't enough that this stupidity cost us our AAA credit rating. Boehner apparently has a short memory socked away in his bag of tricks.

Mr. Boehner and the Debt

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/16/op...=1&ref=opinion

It clearly does not bother Speaker John Boehner that he pushed the United States to the brink of default last year. It does not matter that the deep spending cuts in the resolution he demanded to end that crisis will hurt economic growth. It does not even matter that the House he leads is determined now to break that agreement with even deeper cuts in vital programs.

Of course, because John Boehner is totally responsible for spending $15 Trillion more than we take in over the past 100 years.

Sickening.

I just hope he doesnt start ranting to the media again.
Having to see his wrinkled orange face last summer every evening on the news was quite nauseating.
Not to mention his blatant partisan party politics at all costs.

In the economic climate we are currently in, you'd think Congress would realize what people think of them..apparently they don't have a clue.

[as usual]
