Cat Out of The Bag

by digby

John Boehner inadvertently gives away the Republican game plan:

Chris, we make it clear in there that we’re going to lay out a plan to work toward a balanced budget and deal with the entitlement crisis. Chris, it’s time for us as Americans to have an adult conversation with each other about the serious challenges our country faces. And we can’t have that serious conversation until we lay out the size of the problem. Once Americans understand how big the problem is, then we can begin to talk about potential solutions.

Translation:

We're going to block any attempts to fix the economy and relentlessly fear monger until we can make the American people so desperate and so afraid that they will accede to any crackpot scheme we can devise to benefit our wealthy patrons. But we will give them plenty of scapegoats and lots of Jesus to make up for the destruction of the American dream.

2. Once Americans understand how big the problem is ...??

:puke:

3. The whole interview is even more telling...

The Boner's responses made clear that the republican tea party has no idea how to actually do any of the things they say are so important them. It really is a just the same old shit in a different decade.

4. Next week this time

the Orange man will be attacking Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert for dring to tell Americans to tell the fearmongers to STFU and leave people in peace.

5. "The American People"? Wait, that's what John Boehner calls himself!

Whenever he talks about something he wants, he says "The American People" want it.

6. Where was that concern for a "balanced budget" when that invasion of a country that had nothing to

do with 9/11 was pushed by DimSon & his puppetmaster?

If the Repugs want to go down the "reparitions" road, they can begin with allowing the tax cuts to the top 2% to expire & by finding a way to end military operations in Afghanistan to balance the budget...(as if they care about a balanced budget).

It's common sense, but that's not what "Chris" & Fixed News are concerned about. Propaganda is their game.

7. Entitlements?

Like the Military corporate Industrial Complex?

Cause SS and Medicaid are things we paid into. Not an entitlement.

8. Biggest problem this country faces is the orange-man. n/t

9. This is already happening.

No need for a GOP win to see this.

11. "entitlement crisis"

Suck it, Boner.

[blogslut]

12. It's the new talking point

Watch it spin in heavy rotation from now until they can think of something more despicable.

[LuckyLib]

13. "an adult conversation"? With idiots like Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin among a cast of

thousands who have no relationship with reality?

[applegrove]

14. Brilliant. Too bad it doesn't all fit on a tea shirt.

[G_j]

15. yep, more need to suffer and lose everything,

then we'll talk about solutions..

that's what he's saying

[Blue Owl]

16. Fuck off, Boner

and take your shitty party with you.

[txaslftist]

17. entitlement crisis???
