The new budget passed by Congress this morning calls to:
KILL Environment Protection
KILL Consumer Protection
KILL protection of people with pre-existing conditions
KILL the SEC (so that the fat cats in the banking industry can go back to cheating us out of our retirement)
KILL Government by shutting it down
Dealing with less than 5% of the budget deficit (not the budget!)
Hate him, or just think that he is creepy, Newt Gingrich in 1995 had some substance in his "Contract With America". "Wellfare to work" grew out of it. John Boehner CONTRACT ON AMERICA, on the other hand, is something that a puppet on the string of multi-nationals, oil companies, and the Tea Party candidates comes with.
Now, since Tea Party candidates won 35% of the 55% that voted for Republicans in a midterm with 35% turnout rate, we have 6.7% (OK. Also include 0.0001% heads of multinationals that are actually American) of Americans killing programs for 93.2229% of Americans.
There is not a single creative solution in this budget, except for maybe the "Read My Lips we are going to cut spending" comment, that reminded me the "Read My Lips - No New Taxes" by father Bush. .
