Is Boehner Letting Us Down by Taking Obama Off the Spending Hook?

 
 - Jerry McConnell  Saturday, March 19, 2011

What’s going on, Mr. Speaker?  Are you becoming another Nancy Pelosi double talking, slick acting puppet of Obama?  Why are you obstructing the efforts of two House members, Utah’s Steve King and Minnesota’s Michele Bachmann to eliminate the ObamaCare slush fund?

It seems as though every time the GOP gets control of an important part of our government they go soft and languish while the things that the liberals like to do are allowed to keep slipping out of their hands; why are you
letting that happen, Mr. Speaker?

Whatever happened to the spirit of November 2010 where the goal was to stop Obama dead in his tracks at bankrupting America?  We started off with high ideals and seemed to be making progress but somehow or other the wheels kept coming off the tracks and reform suddenly took a back seat to appeasement. I really do hate to use that word, appeasement, but that’s what you are making it look like.

Obama alone does not have the power or the smarts to know how to block an entire political party from being effective, so who is it that is calling the shots and getting the leader of the party in control and his once-eager
lieutenants to back off any weighty achievements of stoppage of the ObamaCare disaster?  Has the Soros consortium of Bilderberg billionaires put down its mighty and collective foot bringing shivers of fear to our 2010
elected representatives?

How many more Continuing Resolutions are we going to use to play pat-a-cake games with the spendthrift liberals?

How many more Continuing Resolutions are we going to use to play pat-a-cake games with the spendthrift liberals?  How about shutting them off just once? If the government comes to a halt maybe that would be a blessing in disguise; with no government there would be no spending.  Geez; even a one day stoppage could save a few bucks.

Are our new House leaders afraid the voters in 2012 will blame them or will they understand that continuing the lofty stratospheric spending that this Administration has committed itself to just had to be stopped if we were
ever to have any hopes for salvation?

According to the The Prowler, March 16, 2011 “Hand’s Off the ObamaCare Slush Funds” in the American Spectator online, the alibi for the unopposed new CR as an aide to House Majority Leader Eric Cantor is “There is no way we can include their [Bachmann and King’s] amendment; it would just bog us down and undercut the leadership goal of getting real cutting done through negotiations with Democrats and the White House.” 

When will these people ever learn that you CAN’T get real cutting done through negotiations with ANY Democrats

When will these people ever learn that you CAN’T get real cutting done through negotiations with ANY Democrats.  As I’ve said here many times in other columns, bipartisanship to Democrats means, ‘Do it our way.’  They
will never get “negotiations” from those people; they only negotiate on one-way streets; those that lead to THEIR goals and away from the peoples’ goals.  These liberal Democrats must first get the pound of flesh they need for whatever reasons they may have; after that they’ll concede to talk about the peoples’ needs.

The Prowler goes on to state that “Bachmann and King have been pressing to zero out the $105 billion that funds the Obama Administration’s implementation of the president’s health care plan.  Despite broad support
among the American public for Congress to draw back spending on ObamaCare, it has done nothing to remove the $105 billion that the previous Congress had allocated. Under the terms of the funding allocation, about $5 billion is budgeted for implementation purposes in FY2011, while another $100 billion has been appropriated for FY2012 through 2020.” 

The Rasmussen Reports frequently post their findings on the subject of ObamaCare repeal and spending curtailment.  The most recent one of these Reports is dated March 11, 2011 and it tells us that the number of voters
advocating for outright full repeal of this ruinous legislation is now up to 62 percent of all voters!  That is approaching two out of every three voters in favor of scuttling this onerous law.  How can we keep ignoring the
wishes of nearly two-thirds of our populace? 

Here we now have the dichotomy of one side saying we have to approve the Continuing Resolutions so we can get some “real” cutting done through negotiations,  while the other side gets on his big Air Force One super jet and wings if off to South America ostensibly to communicate with those leaders, but which smells more like a vacation in warm and sunny climes with Socialist buddies and like-thinkers of wealth redistribution.  Be sure to note how many billions he offers to Brazil, Chile and El Salvador.  Those Socialists are probably singing, “Hey, Big Spender, Spend Your Billions Here.”

Give it up; let the cutting begin

How good are you at internationally long distance negotiations for “real” cutting, Mr. Speaker?  Do you even remotely suspect that the man will be listening?  He has you over a barrel, Sir, and you continue to cry “Uncle”
when it should be “traitor.” 

Give it up; let the cutting begin.
