There are many different ways to look at this political fiscal posturing. But one of the most blatent and factual points is to look at it this way. In 2009, Democrats and President Obama rammed a “one-time” Stimulus spending spree through Congress that ended up costing the American people $840 billion. Since then, that so-called “one-time” spending spree was built into each and every year’s budget because of the Democrats’ unprecedented failure to pass a budget. Therefore our message to Democrats is simple: remove the “one-time” Stimulus spending spree from the baseline budget. Then, and only then, will we talk about other measures to balance the budget.
John Boehner is a horrible leader for House Republicans. He is inarticulate. He is unprincipled. And, worse, he is more willing to brawl conservatives — the Tea Party activists that gave him his speakership — than he is to fight the radical Leftist Democrats who are dragging our country into an economic abyss.
Which is why he needs to be replaced.
