   Hmmm, I guess Paul Ryan’s ‘budget’ wasn’t the Republican proposal after all.

   Why are Republicans so terrified at naming specific cuts?

   Because they want to blame the Dems for the pain and suffering that the GOPs greed causes.

   Republican definition of “Negotiate”; Do it ALL OUR WAY, and ONLY OUR WAY!

   Because their cuts will be to destruction of Medicare and Social Security (even though SS has nothing to do with the budget.)

   I believe it is because the really fear the expected results; their money supply will be cut off and no one will ever vote for them again.

   Toles gives us the perfect cartoon depicting how the party of know nothing and do nothing does the only thing they know how to do, be spoiled brats. Tax rates are going up and if they go up for everyone instead of the worthless 2% then the 98% will know who to blame, the recalcitrant elephants.
   Too funny seeing the conservative crybabies responding to the much tougher negotiations Obama is giving them now.

   No, that’s Obama’s position. Listen to him sometime!

   Yes, a flat tax because 10% of 10,000 is not missed in today’s economy any more than 10% of 10,000,000.

    Toles nails it! Obama in the past has proposed compromises to the GOP at the start of negotiations. The Republicans then reject his proposals, and Obama looks weak. Now he tells them what he wants and lets them counter-offer. And they got nothing.

    The GOP proposed the same thing they had as Romney/Ryan campaign platform. In case you didn’t notice – Romney LOST. The Dems picked up seats in the Senate and House and there were more votes for Democratic House candidates than Repubs. The Repubs kept the ouse because of gerrymandering districts.
    In other words, the PEOPLE already said NO to that proposed plan.

    Step one; decide what services the government is going to provide for its citizens. Step two: raise the money it will cost to pay for them, and a little extra to pay down past debts. The devil is in the details.

    Geez, Obama has backed the Phunts into a corner where they can either stand up to Obama and have the general public blame them for the collapsing economy or they can cave in and lose their Tea Party base for being RINOs.

    
    Remind me never to play poker with that guy.
