Daily Kos: Boehner has about-face on automatic spending cuts

Quote:

The suggestion by Boehner at a Capitol news conference is at odds with the speaker's earlier statement that he would feel "morally bound" to abide by the "sequester," the formal term for the $1.2 trillion cut to defense and non-defense spending set to take effect in 2013.

These people have morals?

They knew all along that the 'automatic cuts' to dismantle social services are a lot harder to undo than buying some more bombs or paying some soldiers.

Boehner and the GOP had no more intention of taking this 'Supercongress' seriously than they ever had of taking *regular* Congress seriously since they lost the last Presidential election. They showed this. It's no surprise. That thing was a joke from the start.

They were pitching paranoia about Reagan's term 'Czars' like it was a liberal conspiracy, yet they forget that word comes from Caesar, as in Julius, as in how senatorial deadlocks turn Republic to Empire as they want. For their own pluto-theocracy, Through patronage and the like. Right down to the scapegoatings of the same people as ever.

They never *intended* to govern well. If they intended that they wouldn't have had to make a 'supercongress' to do it while kneeling to their Big Money sponsors.

I only hate to say I told you so, cause ...it's getting pretty boring.
