Is the Country Lost?

Did we just lose the country with the budget legislation that was passed in the House?

Republicans calling themselves conservatives voted for this. I'm failing to see anything that remotely is of conservative nature associated with this legislation.

The deal passed the House 332-94 only 62 Republicans and 32 Democrats voting against it. We know the Senate will pass it.

On the path to $25 trillion in 2023? No one is being honest, not even those that keep telling us they are conservative. Time to vote out incumbents no matter of their party affiliation. Else we won't have a country at this rate, it appears that dire.

This deal does effectively nothing to address deficit spending. The line they keep toting is $23 billion deficit reduction. That's a carefully crafted way to say it. The $23 billion is considered in the context of NEW deficit spending. Not the existing deficit. And $23 billion over 10 years or $ 0.0013 trillion annually in new deficit spending. When currently in the last 4 years we've been averaging $1.05 trillion in new deficits annually.

Nothing about the legislation will reduce the deficit total. They're no where close and being honest to address this. This means again we're on our way to a $25 trillion deficit by 2023.

All this legislation does is remove the government shutdown possibility in January to pass new legislation of which we have here. Postponing actually dealing with the issue yet again, simply disguised as addressing the issue without actually doing anything but the status quo.

This budget doesn't address the debt ceiling which is now unlimited, but has a hard date in February of which legislation must be passed to address on or before that date or else another shutdown will commence.

Incumbents with R or D who voted for this should be gone next election cycle if America cares event a little bit about the countries future. Else hard times, really hard times will be upon us sooner rather than later.

Nothing will change, too many people have their hands in the governments pockets. We put the money in, they suck the government teat and take it away.

Some say the Republicans are looking to play ball with the budget in order to keep focus on Obamacare.

It's safe to say all politicians should be voted out of office. Unfortunately the political election funding machine will always have more waiting in the wings.

We're #*$^!

Most are trying to keep the negative focus on the Dems and Obamacare. That way they can try to win in Nov 14. Without the Senate no Reps much less the actual conservative ones can do much. This was the best thing to do IMO. Even if I don't like the bill either.
