John Boehner is a good guy, a decent man, and it troubles me to have to be critical of him while he's trying to establish his leadership position in the House Of Representatives, but he needs to "STOP" trying to defend this budget agreement... as if it were something great. We all know it fell monumentally short of what it should have been, of what it "could" have been. I would urge John Boehner to always keep in mind that the "only" reason he is Speaker Of The House is because of us, the people of the nation who rallied to push back against the rising tide of government intrusion into our lives and an endlessly expanding federal addiction to spending... and voted "against" that old school of doing business in DC by "allowing" Republicans to have one more chance to prove they can clean up our nation's capital. We are not merely watching what's going on in DC, we are engaged and insisting that dramatic and deep and swift alterations to spending, debt, and taxation be fought HARD for..., that promises be kept. We did not send a new congress to DC to be compromisers and to find ways to get along with the enemies of fiscal reform, we sent them there to be the instrument of the electorate's will to stop the suicidal course of permanent financial ruin we are headed for in this nation.
