Breaking: CBO Just Scored the Boehner Tax Bill: Major Fail!!

by joelgp

Here we go again with one of the most incompetent, legislative Houses in U.S. history producing yet another laughable piece of legislation. They could have quietly given the middle-class a tax cut and headed home with their heads held high. But nooo!!!

That was just a bridge too far for them. They need to add “sweeteners” like the pipeline, federal layoffs and more federal cuts. Well, the CBO took a look at their ignorant document and said this according to TheHill.com:

1. The House bill will add $25.3 billion to the federal deficit over the next 10 years

2. Take billions from Medicare

3. Take billions from Social Security

4. Create another racist illegal alien ruse

5. Reduce Medicaid by billions

6. Freeze federal worker pay

7. Take 10s of Billions from federal worker retirement benefits

8. Take 31 billion from “Other” health provisions

Mostly, the GOPers are not well rounded peeps...

Narrow minded and easily fooled....they suck for their Masters Dogma and PsyOps

Many of them GOPer boys mimic the same sound bites fam with us via the Progs confirming a GOP sound bite system

4. Pretty much the same scheme they used the last time they added all of that crap to a bill.
And they're going to add all of that crap to every bill they think that Obama needs to get passed in order for him to get re-elected next year.
Thus ensuring that those bills will never get passed in the Senate.

And guaranteeing that President Obama will be re-elected.

5. Boehner has created a GOP "Poison Pill" Caucus in the House of Representatives
Trying to identify those bills that Boehnor thinks that President Obama must have to get re-elected and that President Obama would sell his soul to the devil just to have them passed in the House of Representatives so they can be moved over to the more friendly Democratic-controlled Senate.

Will never happen, not in a million years.
And certainly not within the next year.

President Obama doesn't have to sell his soul to the devil in order to get re-elected.
All he has to do is stand on principle and never back down.

We know what's going on.
We know what Boehnor is trying to pull here.
