I was talking to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee, this morning for a magazine story and he described Harry Reid’s comments blaming the Tea Party for the budget stalemate as “laughable.” “The only budget that was put together last year was the RSC budget,” Jordan told me. “We got to balance in ten years.”
It’s worth noting that Reid’s Democratic majority failed to pass a budget last year and has so far been unable to pass a continuing resolution funding the government more than a few weeks this year.

“Who is responsible for the budget impasse?” Every single politician that has not been placed in office by the Tea Party AND some of the Tea Party incumbents this time around may also be suspect.
Solution: Remove every single one from office by replacing them with legitimate Tea Party candidates (choose wisely). I have a sneaky suspicion that the beltway spell has been cast on some we have worked so hard to install. They have to go too.
These clowns are arguing about 30, 51, 61, or 100 billion; the national debt is increasing 150 billion every day they diddle themselves or each other.

Even Jim Jordan is suffering from low standards. We have the same problem when giving out visas and grades in schools.
The federal budget should be balanced in FY2012 and every subsequent year, and significant amounts of federal debt paid down by the end of FY2015.

We are fiddling while the nation burns. $61 Billion is chicken feed; but suitable for
chickenS--T congress and the Prez. to wrangle over. We need an axe, not a tweezers to fix the budget.
