John Boehner Shrugged

John Boehner

shrugs off his responsibility as a leader

Despite the message sent by the overwhelming republican victories in 2012, apparently Speaker Boehner didn’t get the message that the public is tired of reckless government spending.

Today I was disheartened and disappointed that Speaker Boehner lowered the sights from 4 trillion in spending cuts to 2 trillion. What makes his capitulation worse is that Obama can crow that he is for the higher figure.

The plain truth is, and nobody of sense can argue, is that our government is an overreaching, bloated mess. Speaker Boehner let everyone down with his actions today.

Saying “no” takes courage. If we have to eliminate Saturday delivery of the mail, then do it. Let the wasteful spenders cry. If they don’t like it then they can get some bags and deliver the mail themselves.

If a military base, unnecessary armory or project are wasteful uses of taxpayer dollars, eliminate them. A federal government that isn’t bloated and in debt will soon lead to more than enough jobs being created in a private sector unencumbered with burdensome taxes to hire all those and more that were on the government teat.

Americans demanded responsibility in 2010. John Boehner was trusted as House Speaker to lead us to a new era of responsible, less wasteful government. As of this moment he has failed. He has been outmaneuvered by President Obama and our country will continue down the path of bankruptcy and ruin because, and it indeed causes me great pain to use this phrase being a fan of Ayn Rand; John Boehner shrugged.

The editorial staff at MadMikesAmerica can say, without fear of contradiction, we disagree with everything Milton Thornridge says. We are however, pleased that Milton allows us to insert graphics for him, so we can have some fun with his posts. Unlike John Boehner, Milton has a sense of humor.
