John Boehner Can Not Believe The Gall Of Barack Obama Wanting A Clean Vote On The Debt Ceiling (VIDEO)
Human tear factory John Boehner is shocked -- shocked! -- that no-goodnik President Divisive wants a "clean" debt limit increase without matching spending cuts. You perhaps remember that this was a big fucking deal last year when all the Tea Party freshman simultaneously went all bananas on John Boehner's ass and refused to pay for what Congress had already spent, because that is just good, responsible budgeting like we all do at home, and this caused the nation's credit to be downgradedto "Gingrich Campaign." You mayalso remember that they eventually, after much derping, agreed that there would be a mix of cuts to programs cherished by each side if'n they couldn't come up with a compromise on their own. They failed, the "sequester" (cuts) was supposed to take effect, and then HEY HOWDY! just a week or so ago they decided that all their side's cuts would come from the Democrat side of the aisle. That is so weird and totally unexpected! So that is all just "context" for why President The Worst would be all nah John Boehner not this time just raise the fucking debt ceiling no games mang, and now John Boehner, he is breathless with the gall! And that is how it is Barack Obama's fault that the Republicans in the House will let the nation default!
Also, here is a thing the Right that has been saying lately: that spending cuts will head off "austerity" like they are having in Europe (which is actually spending cuts?), and not the exact opposite. Framing! Watch for it! It's fun!
i keep both of these fact filled missives (along with the recent jeffrey toobin new yorker on roberts / citizens united) at the ready whenever i know i'm seeing the 'righter' parts of my family.
Austerity is Abundance.
