The Fed Shutdown Poll and Megathread

Obama threatens to veto GOP budget extension plan

That seems really politically risky to me. He does that won't he get the blame for the shutdown that follows?

Dumbass, the "budget extension plan" involves 12 billion in cuts for a one week extension.  Obama said he'd accept a clean, no-cuts extention for a week.

12 billion in cuts.  For a week. They're calling it the "troop funding" extension, and yet they want to eliminate $350+ million from the VA.  Too funny.

They didn't blame Clinton for the shutdown in the 1990's.  The Republicans are doing the same thing before and hoping for a different outcome.  I think Obama is being smart politically, but policy wise it does nothing.

Clinton didn't veto a budget extension did he? IIRC he just let the Republicans cut their own throat. Am I wrong?

Yes, you are. Clinton vetoed the continuing resolution and shut down the gov't. But you're forgiven for getting it wrong since the msm lied and pretended it was the GOP's fault. Gingrich didn't help because he was proud to take responsibility for the shutdown. There are a few differences today.

1. The msm can't get away with bs like that anymore since they can't control the message.

2. Boehner is a lot more reasonable than Gingrich

3.  Obama is a lot dummer than Clinton

4.  We're actually having a real budget crisis this time

Well that's true.

And here we have the infantile democratic position.  No, we can't cut anything, boohoo.

Well, the democrats completely fucked everything up last year by completely refusing to even start on the budget for the first time ever and are now crying about minuscule cuts.

Not for a week. Nope. Not for the benefit of stopping "abortion providers" in the District of Columbia, conveniently slipped in to the "troop funding" extension.

Planned Parenthood is miniscule cuts in the big deficit picture.  But we know that niggers being allowed to get mammograms because they don't have healthcare isn't a miniscule issue for you Teabaggers.

Enjoy your furlough.

The real problem is that Harry Reid has managed to piss off so many Senators that he is incapable to pass anything at all so he is trying to shift focus to the House.

Normally the house would pass a bill, then the senate, and then they would go to conference to hash out the differences.

Now the house has passed a bill while the senate hasnt done shit, but now demands that the house compromise on their own bill before they will take it up in the senate. And then you have the crazy leftist hacks in the msm and on this forum claim that this is the house's failure. This is nonsense, the only ones that have acted responsible are the house republicans.

Meanwhile we're heading towards a gov't shutdown this Friday, default by may 16, and insanely high deficits as far as the eye can see. The tea party are the only sane people in this circus, the democrats have lost all sense of reality.

We're not gonna default on May 16th. There's plenty of income to service the debt. We'd have to not pay for other stuff but we could do it.

Might you mean hit the debt ceiling then?

The Senate shit all over the bullshit riders the House tried to sneak in the first time, and they've since moved the goalposts and are trying it again.  The same riders.  Planned Parenthood, the EPA, the BATF, and STILL including tax cuts for the wealthy and megacorporations. 
It's not about the deficit.  It's not about jobs.  What it is about is the same old social bullshit song and dance from GOPtards.  Abortion, federal regulation, guns and more free rides for Wall Street and their country club buddies, all the usual fare.  They just don't get it.  They don't want to get it.

We already establish that you only have infantile arguments, thanks for reiterating them. Didn't your governor just propose deep cuts to state employee benefits, indeed deeper cuts than what passed in Wisconsin?  Shouldn't you be out there protesting at the state Capitol, or you only complain if republicans cut your benefits?  Fucking tool.

[CountDeMoney]

Now the house has passed a bill while the senate hasnt done shit,

The "Government Shutdown Prevention Act of 2011"?

The tea party are the only sane people in this circus, the democrats have lost all sense of reality.

lulz

Wall street elected Obama, you dumb fuck. They vote democrats because they guarantee them profits without having to work for them. You sure are ignorant.

Well, to be fair Planned Parenthood was founded for the expressed purpose of exterminating negroes, the retarded, and other mongrel races. Not to mention Jews.

My governor isn't attempting to destroy the state-funded safety nets out of ideological extremism while eliminating revenue streams at the same time.  Oh, and he worked with the other side to get it done.  So everybody's happy here in my little socialist paradise.

Plus, he plays in a band.  So he's cooler than any Teabagger could ever hope to be.
