Republican's budget resolution

I have linked to the Fox story, lest conservatives refuse to read. Even Fox seem a little flabbergasted by it. To wit: "House Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price’s $3.8 trillion plan borrows heavily from prior GOP budgets, including a plan that would transform Medicare into a voucher-like "premium support" program for seniors joining Medicare in 2024 or later. They would receive a subsidy to purchase health insurance on the private market. Meanwhile, Republicans are proposing using ...

They really want to go home tomorrow so they're doing in one day what they should have been doing in 6 years, working and voting on important bills instead of complaining about the other side by the Majority Leader and blocking every bill that was sent over by the House. :)Wonder what they'll do with the Doc Fix bill. ...

During 2016, I will: * Post no personal insults. * Post no insults related to political parties in general, which is the same thing as a personal insult to everyone who belongs to that party. * Use no demeaning terms to refer to political parties or their members (e.g. "teabaggers", "commies", etc.) * Investigate every issue BEFORE I POST, thoroughly and objectively. * Critically assess the veracity and objectivity of my sources of information. * Will no ...

and to refer the resolution to the Ethics Committee reached the required simple majority. The vote breakdown is very interesting. Bipartisan support on first vote is 402 (dems 240, pubs 162), 1 nay, 15 present and the 14 no votes. Dems overwhelmingly supported this resoluton with only 1 dissent vote. This would indicate a high level of confidence among house party members that the process has been fair and above board. Looks like they are all to eager to ...

(Make sure you read the last paragraph on pg. 2). The legal license President Obama used to justify U.S. military intervention in Libya expires today, and there's little sign the White House is working quickly to get it renewed. Exactly two months ago, Obama notified Congress of his unilateral decision to engage in "limited military action" to help defend the Libyan people from attacks by their leader, Moammar Gadhafi. But under federal law -- the ...

response to the Security Council's recent resolution regarding Judea and Samaria." So said Rabbi Zalman Melamed on Monday, speaking before hundreds of students and guests at a Hanukkah candle-lighting in the presence of Israel's President Reuven Rubi Rivlin. With a hint of a smile betraying his delight at the eternal inter-generational connections, Rabbi Melamed said: "King David spoke, in his prophetic spirit, about future events. He wrote about Israel sitting by the rivers of B ...

Was watching in the wee hours of the morning this morning. RTTNews) - The U.S. Senate passed a continuing resolution Saturday to fund the federal government through March of next year, a vital stopgap measure that will also increase the federal budget by 0.6 percent come January. The resolution, the last piece of legislation passed before Congress takes a break to campaign before elections on November 6, passed after Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., dropped calls to cut U.S. aid to Pakistan, Libya ...

'Scuse me for any typos or double remarks if any. I am trying to type this as he speaks. He plans to veto earmarks (how can this happen-there is no line item veto), cut LIHEAP program, freeze federal employee wages for 2 years (didn't they already do that?), cut military spending as Gates wanted, will work with everyone to simplify the tax code, but it sounds like he doesn't want to change anything with SS. He wants to increase taxes for those earning over $200K. Then he wants to ...

By Walter Alarkon - 04/20/10 08:50 AM ET Senate Democrats have written their budget resolution so they can pass jobs legislation using reconciliation, the controversial process used last month to move healthcare reform. The resolution does not specify what specific jobs measures could be covered, and does not explicitly allow for the use of reconciliation rules to pass energy legislation or the extension of George W. Bush-era tax cuts set to expire at the end of the ...

Question for liberals - if Obama is such a wonderful president and manager, can anyone tell me why he has not had a budget in 3-1/2 years? He is such a dismal failure. Having a hard time admitting it, I guess. The Romney/Ryan 2012 ticket is now the ticket of hope. I have more hope today than I've had in a long while. ...

1) Expiration of the Bush tax cuts at all levels. 2) Removing the cap on the payroll tax. 3) Marginal income rate of 50% on the wealthy.and graduated capital gains taxes. 4) Freezing defense and discretionary spending per the Budget Control Act (part of the fiscal cliff) which caps growth in these categories around 1.5% per year for a decade). 5) Reducing the COLA for Social Security for wealthier retirees. 6) Attacking healthcare cost drivers: obesity, defensive medicin ...

The sequester cuts are only 2.4% of the whole debt and most won’t take place for another month. A message for the Democrats: STOP THE SPENDING. STOP THE WASTE IN THE GOVERNMENT SPENDING; I.E., The Zombie training, the shrimp on the treadmill study and all the other stupid projects that received millions of dollars. There’s where your 2.4% cuts should be and this is what the Republicans were trying to get stopped last year. Anyone read Tom Coburn's yearly list of th ...

The financial crisis and deep recession have made the long-term fiscal outlook so much worse that many economic experts no longer believe it will be possible, politically or practically, to balance the federal budget. Instead, the best that can be hoped for is to stabilize soaring government debt relative to the size of the economy, these experts say. And even doing that could take a decade or more and require painful tax increases and spending cuts, they add. The budget deficit totaled $1.4 tr ...

14 Reasons Why The U.S. Government Will Never Have A Balanced Budget Ever Again (Editors note: Here are 14 reasons for secession. Remember that a state that secedes from the Union leaves behind every one of these 14 reasons. No more Federal debt, no more Federal income taxes, no more Social Security, no more tyranny.) The United States government will never have another balanced budget again. Yes, you read that correctly. U.S. government finances have now reached a critical “tip ...

Highlights: Instead, Murray's blueprint calls for more modest initiatives for the nation's fiscal health. They include: Fully replacing the sequester — $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts over 10 years that kicked in March 1 — with a 50/50 combination of spending cuts and new revenue. A $100 billion stimulus package directed at building the nation's deteriorating roads and bridges, repairing public schools and paying for increased broadband access in ...

instead of reading all the articles pro and con about the budget the House has come up with because we know how each side will either stretch the truth or outright lie on the subject, I went straight to the source. If you have time, you can read the whole budget, read the summary, or the questions and answers -- but, truthfully, if you want the full picture, you need to read the full plan.

going to pay for more big government business as usual. At the CNBC debate on October 28, Ted Cruz released his tax reform proposal, which I believe is the best of all the presidential candidates' plans. At Tuesday night's debate, Cruz released a spending reduction plan showing how he will pay for the tax cut involved in the tax reform plan. For the individual income tax under his tax reform, Cruz's plan provides for one flat rate of 10% on everything wages, capital gains, ...

is a disgrace. We already spend more on the military than the next 7 countries combined. They also need to learn how to budget and save. I would spend anything on those who have been in combat but when the military spends millions for redesigned uniforms and the budget cuts meals on wheels it makes me sick. And the tax cut for the 1% hasn't even come yet. ...

Sen. Tom Coburn is an MD (general practitioner) and Senator from Oklahoma . and recognized as 'the conscience' of the US Senate. He is well respected on both 'sides of the aisle' & probably one of the few senators to actually read these 'bail-out' bills. (Google him for his background.) This takes a couple of minutes. It's from his speech in the Senate regarding the 2012 budget... "We are going in exactly the wrong direction. We ought to be standing ...
