So the Democrat's plan "claims savings" from ending the war in the Middle East, which is the exact same thing that the RepubliCANT Ryan plan does. Yet you only ridicule the Democratic plan.
Tell me, Bill, since Rep. Boehner has been in Congress for the past 20 years, why didn't he give a rat's ass about reducing governmental spending in the first 19 1/2 of those years? Why is he only now concerned about cutting spending?
"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from."
