SLASH -- SLASH AND BURN THE BUDGET!!!


Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) insisted on an “open process,” in which lawmakers were allowed to offer unlimited amendments to the base bill.

After whittling down more than 500 amendments submitted to the measure, the House voted on nearly 70 amendments and rejected just over 50.

On Friday, the House held a series of lightning-round votes on the scores of amendments – approving items that would defund the president’s healthcare law, portions of the Environmental Protection Agency, Planned Parenthood and other federal programs. More here:

Well, well, now.  I like the cuts to defund the healthcare law.  I LOVE the cuts to the EPA.  They also voted deep cuts in NPR & PBS, aka the media wing of the "Democratics."  Ha, the EPA/NPR/PBS ... Suck it, asshats.

Excerpts from a related article:
Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.), chairman of the Republican Policy Committee, said Saturday in the GOP's weekly radio address. "To help create a better environment for job creation in America, the spending binge has got to stop."

Republicans have vowed to make much sharper cuts in their 2012 budget proposal, including provisions targeting Social Security, Medicare and the other entitlements – programs largely ignored in the CR and the Obama budget.

"More cuts and more reforms are on the way," Price vowed.

Yes, more cuts on the way.  From what I understand, Obama-the-dumbass is trying to add a kazillion  over 5,000 IRS agents but the GOP has proposed some steep cuts to the IRS so, yes, let's hope the cuts keep coming fast and furious.  This is why the American people elected Republicans last election.  Now LET'S GET WITH THE CUTTIN' BOYS!!!
