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!
