BREAKING/ Obama, Boehner, Democrats strike debt deal to head off government default | NWCN.com Washington - Oregon - Idaho

McConnell has already approved the deal.

it gives them everything they want.

2 more votes to condemn obama before the next election.

no tax cut roll backs.

if the government is dead locked.. we get more cuts and no new revenues... and the right can claim they were bound by law.

Based on what I've read about the deal so far, it's basically the original Boehner bill before the wacko Balanced Budget Amendment garbage was added to it. Congrats, Obama and the Dems, you negotiate against yourselves by continually allowing Republicans to dictate the terms of the debate and re-start negotiations further and further to the right-wing extreme. I mark this a failure for Obama. Once again, compromise is defined as Republicans, the mega-corproations and the super-rich getting everything they want, and the other 98% of America getting nothing.

you mean you might take any surpluses and start to pay down our debt instead of giving tax cuts and launching a trillion dollar unfunded prescription drug program?

Got a quiz for you.. what part of government spending has nearly doubled since 2000.

NASA?

medicare?

NPR?

student loans?

SS?

department of defense?(not counting the wars)

the right want the poor to pay for the unprecedented expansion of our war machine

Hello Naughtia,

How much do the poor pay in federal income taxes? If I am correct about 50% of the people in the US don't pay any federal taxes and many in fact get tax refunds more than they originally put in? I agree enough with stop paying for wars bring that money back home, but can you really comprehend 14+ trillion in debt? What company or household would be allowed to function like this? The answer is none unless you want another collapse like we just went through. It is interesting that the government is functioning like a huge ponzi scheme just waiting to collapse. Really the only thing that has saved it so far, is us borrowing against our children, their grandchildren and their children. It is time we live within our means! Can you really argue against this?

Who, I sure am glad our government is not a company yet. I can not see it as a household either.

The e-mails and calls were orchestrated by our gracious President. The real people don't have access to telephone calls to the Congress and computers.

Lol, who are the real people?

The needy, the homeless, the nuts.

Josephelk, he's a big boy now, out of short pants, and needs to handle himself accordingly. All his blaming makes him childish.

LOL, are you talking about President Obama being childish? Obama wasn't the one walking out of meetings and throwing fits like the GOP/Baggers were doing during this whole raising the debt ceiling/budget cut talks, the debit ceiling should of been raised no questions asked just like it has been since 1917 and the rest of the talks should have taken place on there own as a separate package. tyler This @!$%# with the baggers being only 1/3 of the Government and holding America hostage is childish.

But.....we all know that the checks are going in the mail, only Nancy Pelosi has the bad taste of talking about the mi/billionairs and jet setters, when she belongs to the same pack, the difference is that we pay her.
