It's business as usual in Washington, D.C. this morning; in more ways than one.
The government is open for business, a shutdown having been averted with only minutes to spare before the deadline.
President Obama is claiming credit for "historic" spending cuts.
I guess to a socialist spendthrift even the elimination of one single dollar in spending is "historic." To anyone with a brain though, $38 billion is a pin prick, a wart on the butt of progress, and certainly nothing to crow about.
Remember when they promised us $100 billion in cuts? Me neither.
Did they even read Paul Ryan's budget proposal? Of course not.
All the way down to the wire House Speaker John Boehner swore he'd stick to his guns and defund Planned Parenthood. The "deal" doesn't do that. Oops.
Any hope of reining in the EPA's odious carbon emission regulations went up in smoke too.
He had the Democrats on the ropes. And John Boehner snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
But hey, he didn't shut down the government! Because as we all know, that's what America really wants.
I'm with Clifton on this one:
If Republican want to have any hope of enacting anything remotely similar to Ryan's budget proposal, it is very clear that tougher, bolder and braver leadership will be required. Boehner simply isn't up to the task.
Hey Johnny, here's a song for ya.
