Reid Plan = DOA in House

The Hill: Reports that the Debt Ceiling Plan by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is dead on arrival in the US House of Representatives. This is political games folks, the Republicans are not going to give the Democrats any victories, thus the Reid plan if it gets out of the Senate is dead in the House, very much waste of paper. The Republicans as stated should hold fast, if need be take it past default, make the Democrats pay the political price, its hardball time folks.

Boehner Plan = DOA in Senate

US Senate: Reports that the Senate has voted down the Boehner Plan by 59 to 41 votes. Reports that the Senate has voted down the Boehner Plan by 59 to 41 votes. Thus as stated we are in to back room deals, the Republicans should hold fast, force the Democrats to come up with a plan, defeat that in the House and then demand a majority of cuts, and that should not include Defence. If the Democrats want to play hardball then lets play hardball, take it down to the wire, the US will not default folks, the last time this blog looked the US Government was still getting taxes, thus enough to pay US bonds, defence, welfare etc. Lets see how it shakes out, the US will not go over a cliff folks what ever liberals think, lets play Chicago rules folks. The winner is the last Party standing.

Boehner Plan = House Result


HofR: Reports that the House has passed the Boehner Plan by 218 votes to 210. The plan of Speaker Boehner now goes to the US Senate, there the Democrats have said that the plan is dead on arrival, the Reid plan is also expected to fail in the US Senate. Thus we come down deal making, the Republicans should demand a majority of the Boehner plan, even deeper cuts, and only give the debt ceiling extension till the day after the 2012 election. The Republican have a strong hand, the Tea Party movement should keep an eye on the Republican leadership in Washington D.C, they should not be allowed to sell out the Republican Party or the voters for some shabby Beltway deal. Thus folks phone, fax, email, tweet your Congressional Representative, keep them on the straight and narrow folks.
