Thursday Vote for US Budget Deal - 2nd Term Blues


Lets Get Real:

When you have divided Government you have to DEAL, you never get 100% of what you want, if you want purity in politics your in the wrong game, the US has not had a Budget for years, the CR's passed are a way for chickens in both the House and Senate to get elected.   The Republicans have made a good deal, its the fault of the Senate Democrats that there is no extension of federal unemployment benefits, they made it clear it was not a DEAL BREAKER, thus the Republicans who would never pass such a measure went along with the idea, its to late for liberal Democrats to be upset, pass the budget and lets get  on to other matters, the repeal of ObamaCare or major reform would be a good idea, and helping the millions who have lost and will lose health cover due to ObamaCare. 

The US Budget Deal and Liberals in the House


Lets Get Real:

Even Speaker Boehner could not get the Republican House to support an extension of unemployment benefits, it would be a DEAL breaker, A Speaker can only cross his Party so many times, he can get the compromise through, then it goes to the Senate, as the Democrats run the Senate they need ALL their members to support it, the Republican on mass will oppose, thus both leaders should get this bill through fast, do not allow the left or right to form a strong opposition, it seems the extremes on both sides will not budge, it is my way or the highway, no wonder D.C politics have broken down, leaders no longer have REAL control of the bodies they represent, sad day for US politics but more important, sad day for MAIN street US.   They are the ones that get shafted at the end of the day. 

Will the US Budget Deal Pass ? - 2nd Term Blues


Lets Get Real:

This blog tweeted last night that it support this US Budget Deal, it does not rise taxes and protects defence, this blog is VERY conservative when it comes to fiscal matters, if this deal was a give away to the Dems this blog would oppose the deal, as the Democrats gave up asking for an extension in unemployment benefits they are also taking a hit in political terms from the left.   The House and Senate should fast track this deal before it falls apart, the left are up in arms, and the right wants more welfare cuts, that is why its a compromise deal.   As a great President once said you get the majority of what you want and come back for the rest later. 

The failure of ObamaCare in November - 2nd Term Blues

BBC News: Reports on those that have enrolled in ObamaCare in November, the article states the following, " Officials had originally projected 1.2 million would enrol nationwide by the end of November, instead of the current 365,000. ".

Lets Get Real:

The BBC is left wing, thus puts a positive spin on those that have enrolled in ObamaCare, the above is way down in the article, if this was a business it would be seen as a disaster, the costs are out of control, even those that have enrolled have been told to check to see if the insurance companies have gotten the correct information, even those in Congress have been told to double check, as between 10% to 25% of those that think they have enrolled have not, due to computer problems, also you are only covered if you have paid, thus this ObamaCare scheme is heading for disaster, its just a matter of time before Democrats bail on the Oval.
