THIS IS NOT ABOUT BALANCING THE BUDGET



Late Friday, a deal was reached in order to keep the government funded. House Republicans wanted to eliminate $363 million in federal funding to Planned Parenthood on ideological grounds but the rider was not included in the deal.

Here is a question to ask before reading on: How much of Planned Parenthood’s budget is dedicated to performing abortions?

SHUTDOWN AVERTED.... FOR NOW



Late Friday Night, Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH 8), Senate Democrats, and President Barack Obama came to a deal to continue funding the government and avoided a government shutdown. The deal would cut $38 billion in spending for 2011 and keep the government funded... until the next time there is the threat of a government shutdown.

Each side was in agreement about the deal…. Except for some small issues…

Planned Parenthood

Now, I will discuss this more in detail but this posting is more about the politics of the shutdown.

DÉJA VU





Speaker Boehner had this to say last week concerning the House Republicans passing several bills that addressed cutting funding:


I could believe he said it… and neither could he.

Hmmmm…. Who else said those words?


Whatever happened to him….?
