Cantor's beginning to annoy me

HELL NO!

  We hope the Speaker remembered to line his britches with asbestos, because the debt ceiling debate is only going to get hotter. The Club for Growth and Sen. Rand Paul will support raising the debt ceiling only in exchange for an all-but-impossible Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution. Americans for Prosperity, which has people in both the Tea Party freshmen's "Hell no" caucus as well as GOP leadership's "Well, OK" caucus, is "confident that the debt ceiling will not be raised unless there is something meaningful attached to it."

 
SNAP!
While Tea Party Nation founder Judson Phillips said, "I don't know that there's any conditions out there that they can create to get us to support [a debt ceiling increase]." Cantor's office attempted to please all-comers in a statement released Thursday:"Republicans will not agree to raise the debt limit without binding budget reforms and immediate spending cuts that will guarantee we don't continue these bad spending practices in the future." And if GOP leadership caves? Michael Needham of the Heritage Foundation says, "There's going to be a lot of disappointed people." (Daily Caller Fuill Story)

Attach it to the elimination of the Department of Education. Then I would be ok with raising the limit.

Hey TheOldMan,
How about eliminating the DOE while we're at it? It's my theory that the DOD-facilitated GPS system has saved more energy than the DOE ever has. Getting lost is a thing of the past, along with all the wasted driving time and gas.

Not nearly enough!

Get rid of the Departments of Energy, Labor, and Education, farm subsidies and throw in congressional term limits.....

And get rid of the unconstitutional ATF while you're at it. Or make it a convenience store as it should be instead of a jack-booted thug organization.

No legislation is going to do any good if "da one" is simply going to ignore what's in it, as he did with the czar deal.
