Dec. 12, 2013, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Nathan Mehrens today issued the following statement criticizing the speed with which the budget deal is being rushed through the House of Representatives:
“In order to prevent anybody from even having an opportunity to analyze and comment on this budget deal, it is being rushed through the House in a day. This is how Nancy Pelosi ran the House, and Republicans swore up and down they would be different. How good does that promise look now?
“The Republican Pledge to America has again been broken. You get 72 hours to read a bill before it’s voted on? No. They’re going to cut $100 billion? Since 2010, outlays are only down by $3 billion, and that is only thanks to the sequester. Now,this budget deal will increase spending by $57 billion over the next two years, canceling roughly a third of the sequester in 2014 and 2015. It allows funding for Obamacare to continue. These are the types of policies Republicans opposed while in the minority. This continued breach of faith with those who entrusted them with power is wrong.
“At least going into the 2014 elections, the American people should not be deluded into believing that anyone who votes for this bill truly is seeking to cut the size and scope of government. Without this central promise, it is hard to imagine what incumbent Republicans have to offer in November besides a vague warning that it could have been worse.
“There will be those who point to the fact that government spending in real terms has been reduced since 2010 by about $3 billion. This good news is now being negated by a compromise enthusiastically embraced by Senate Democrats and President Obama, which now sets the stage for more of the sequester to be rolled back down the road.
“Is it any wonder why a president determined to grow government would herald the Ryan compromise that reverses a three year trend of cutting the size of government? Taxpayers would have been better off with a basic continuing resolution that changed nothing.”

OBoehner and Scelosi, at it again. #RINO N #Commie running the #USSA #WhatAboutUs, the few that feed and cloth the 53% that lie and laze? #ObamaFailsAgain
LoL!!
Fuck you!!|
Too bad you aren’t smart enough to know when you are BEAT!! Ryan sure does!
Lol, keep crying you fuck. You were never going to defund Obama care or any of the shit you are bitching about. This bill will pass with bipartisan support which will be a nice change in our goverment after the tea party fucktards have done their best to screw everyone over the last 4 years
This is why the Republicans were so desperate to stop the ACA before it got started.

Good gravy. Is this all the hufpo agents can afford to pay to trash a, #respect mr folks, 2nd rate state politiblog?. Not one original commie thought in years. Strictly party line. Even fucking Marx said to keep it fresh. Meh
Boehner FINALLY telling the real RINOs in the GOP, the Libertarians and TEAvangelicals, to take a hike.
Good for him.
Bitching about a lack of a budget, then bitching that we are passing one? Compromise?! Non pipe dream budget deal?! No shutdowns and hostage negotiations?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Fuck you ALG, you are the cancer, not the chemo.
That’s Deputy Dog and Clementine!
The Tea Party is demanding that the house and Republicans deliver things that require winning elections.
…like barefoot wimmin without birth control refused abortions, arming the blind and mentally ill, elimination of early voting, voter ids from hell, and statues of dinosaurs being ridden by the magi to the manger in Bethlehem in front of the Supreme Court?
like breast-feeding burqas, infinite wars on Terra based on lies for allies we have to give billions to just to keep them from carpet bombing their neighbors?
like refusal to pass a bill they haven’t pissed all over first?
like elimination of divorce and 2 income families and then kicking granny out of the nursing home for not being able to curtail her husband’s gambling habits?
like bringing back “the good old days,” where men were men and sheep were nervous?
wow… cooch mcGooch… like, like, like bitchin’ and shit!
The Boehnor/Ryan strategy now is that by removing budget debates from their daily duties, Obamacare turncoats will vote for the GOP in 2014, keeping the House and flipping the Senate to the GOP. Yet, if this does not materialize, Pelosi will and Reid will have 2015-16 to push through their agenda w/o having to stop and pass budget bills.
A politicians promises aren’t worth the money you pay for them.
