John Boehner Speech on Election Night November 2, 2010
Senate Leaders Dick Durbin (D-IL), Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) at a press conference following the Senate's 59-41 to kill the Boehner bill. Yesterday evening the Senate tabled the House bill's plan to raise the U.S. debt limit as the nation nears the "magical" August 2nd deadline. President Obama and the pundits in the news media have been saying that our nation could go into default if there isn't a compromise deal reached within the next few days. I watched the coverage over Fox News last night. Three Senate Democrats, which consisted of Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), and Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), were giving a press conference last night stating the reasons why they couldn't support the Boehner bill. They were saying that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell needs to come up with a compromise on this budget deal. It was disgusting listening to these so-called leaders in the Senate speaking before the American people on why they tabled the Boehner bill. I firmly agree that the bill that Boehner wrote yesterday wasn't sufficient when it came to eliminating unnecessary expenditures in Congress. Boehner is nothing but a go-to-guy when it comes to making deals with President Obama and the Democrats. As I've stated to begin with Congress and the President have their priorities backwards when it comes to the debt ceiling. President Obama wants to raise the debt ceiling but isn't intersted in eliminating wasteful spending in Congress.
The President and much of the media want to take this nation into hysteria and make us think that if the Republicans don't cave in by or before August 2nd our nation's Senior Citizens, soldiers, and Medicare recipients won't be paid by the government. I'm not sure if I believe that assertion. Our federal government has various obligations it must fulfill regardless what else may take place. If our elected elite were so concerned the nation's elderly wasn't going to be taken care of sufficiently, they would be taking a hedge trimmer and eliminating all the wasteful spending they could so the government's fiscal house would be in order. President Obama and the Democrats are only interested in borrowing $4 trillion to spend but they aren't interested in capping spending. That's foolish! A business can't function that way in the private sector. If a business doesn't control their expenditures, they will eventually be out of business. However, we have elected officials that give the appearance they don't know anythiong about economics. The truth is they do, but they are on a crash course in destroying America's capitalist system. They're purposely spending this nation into an oblivion. I believe that wholeheartedly. I have no time for either party. The Republicans in the House knew a long time ago that this moment was coming up. They should've been using their powers in the House of Representatives defunding Obamacare and a whole host of other spending initiatives earlier this year. They didn't. That's not their agenda. They lied when they were campaigning that they would reduce spending if elected. Now they said we need a Republican President and a Republican Senate to accomplish what they need to. Remember when Bush was president and both the House and Senate were in Republican hands? What did they accomplish? They all want the issue but they have no intention to solve the problem.
I've heard radio talk show host Jim Sumpter repeatedly say a number of times that the elected officials in both the House and Senate behave like they're punks. I don't ever use that term very much but I will say that Sumpter's correct. OUR ELECTED ELITE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE ARE NOTHING BUT PUNKS!!! They act and speak like punks. They don't talk like intelligent people when it comes to "debating" these issues. Of course, it's nothing but a show. I don't have any use for hardly any of them. That's why we need to vote out these incumbents in droves in 2012!
