MSNBC:Boner says cut up the credit card and we'll raise dbt limit

What he really means is put the credit card away until we get back in office, and we'll raise the debt limit.

Excuse me Mr. Boner, but fuuuuuuuuuuckkkkk yooooouu! We know how well republicans try to save money, they don't!

Your reputation precedes you.

Instead of giving us hollow words, show us some action, when you are in office. Not one republican president, not one, in the last 50 yrs has done anything of note to reduce spending while in office. So why in hell would we ever listen to a republican?
They lie, they cheat, they steal. Instead of the GOP, they are the RIP, The Republican Immoral Party.

NOW RAISE THE FUCKING TAXES ON THE RICH TO 91% AND PAY OUR DEBTS.

Your entire party is a failure, your party wrong about EVERYTHING and everyone knows it, so you get nothing.

Perhaps someone could ask the orange one just how he expects to cut 1 trillion dollars out of the 2012 budget. Should be quite interesting.

(edit to get the year right. )

rather than make corporations and the wealthy cough up their fair share.

no thanks

Lots of people are hurting. And even if they're not actually in financial distress, most Americans are a blown headgasket or broken leg away from disaster. They've used those credit cards -- if they have them at all, with more than a $500 limit on them -- to help make ends meet until things got better. But things aren't getting better fast enough, certainly not for them anyway. Most Americans in this situation would probably love to have the bank offer to forgive the debt if you just cut up the credit card.

They can make sense of this. This is real to them, it's not derivatives or credit default swaps or hedge funds or futures. It's a metaphor they get, and I have to give Boner credit for running with it. Sadly, I fear it will work. Not because there is any substance to it, which there isn't -- it's just a bumber sticker, after all, not a plan -- it will work with the help of a steady onslaught of "Cut up the credit card!" on the newz, and every Republican will repeat it in every appearance, verbatim, for the next six weeks, and no one will discuss what that actually means. No pundit will ask for specifics on the comparison of our national debt to a credit card; we're running a nation of 300,000,000 citizens, not charging a Margarita Maker at Kohl's.

and Afghanistan, close corporate tax loopholes (and lower the rate), and raise taxes on the uber-rich.

Do all that, and I'll gladly agree to "cut up the credit card".

cut those up first - just like a normal household, get rid of the ones that cost the most to start with, makes paying off the others a lot easier

and watch that budget start to look better.. If republicans loved the way Buish did it, they should happily go back to doing it that way..

It;s like running a family budget , but not including the mortgage payment..add that sucker in, and your budget looks a whole lot more anemic..
