House Republicans Run for the Hills After Bailing out on a Sequester Vote!


Before running for the hills on another vacation with no compromise to balance increased revenues with spending cuts in order to stop sequestration, House Speaker Boehner had the nerve to declare that “more revenue in order to reduce the federal deficit or to replace sequestration’s pending budget cuts is tantamount to stealing from the government”(?!?!?)

In addition to the fact that Boehner’s statement directly contradicts the facts stated in his own  Congressional Budget Office report along with the Bi-Partisan Policy Center’s research proving that sequestration cuts “would not do much to address the government’s long term debt” -  Boehner, his  Tea Partied House Representatives and Tea Partied US Senators have been coasting on the government's dime for the past 4 years with little to no leadership and/or governing; repeated refusals to vote; record-breaking vacations and record-breaking filibusters while putting in “half the work”!

Here are just a few of many examples…

  • Boehner and his Tea Party representatives voted against the Affordable Health Care Act , but continue to enjoy  comprehensive health care coverage for themselves and their families subsidized by  American taxpayers  when they only put in  “half the work”!
  • Tea Partied US Senators filed a “record number of silent filibusters” in the 111th Congress – 133 to be exact.  The lazy way they conducted their filibusters when they wanted to block President Obama’s nominees was by selecting a shill to enter the empty  Senate Chambers,  rap the gavel then walk out recording it as an actual  session!
  • In 2011, Congress presented “fewer bills” and passed  “fewer laws”  compared to other Congressional non-election years!
  • Boehner and his Just Say No Tea Party House and Senate partners have been holding up  full passage of the President’s American Jobs Act since September, 2011!
  • Boehner and the rest of the congressional House and Senate Tea Party posse took over a year to reauthorized the Violence Against Women Act!

Boehner, his Tea Partied House posse and Tea Partied US Senate partners constantly claim that “across the board” cuts are needed to do away with “waste in government” when...

...they are a prime example of government waste!

When government workers begin to be furloughed and/or laid off due to Congress’ inaction and non-compromising position on sequestration, Boehner, his Tea Partied House representatives and Tea Partied US Senators need to be furloughed as well!  

When you put in “half the work”, you forfeit being paid! That’s the way it works in the real world!
