Well, Oh Well

It's 5:05 pm on Sunday and John Boehner is about to announce the Republican plan to avoid a 40% immediate cut in Federal spending with the advance statement saying the Republican's will go it alone.

Didn't the Senate vote that down earlier this week?  Where are the compromises?   The country has not voted in the Tea Party as the ruling government.  The President has the veto, not the Tea Party!

So if the Republicans pass something with no compromises, then the Democrats try to add some compromises in the Senate and dare the Republicans Senators to filibuster it and the house to reject that language.  A republic democracy is supposed to represent all views that get voted in.  The Tea Party is less than 50% of the house but they are trying to govern by veto threat rather then negotiate their point of view.

This is no way to run a democracy but it is what we have at the moment.

I am joining Americans Elect.
