This is getting REALLY tiresome


John Boehner is getting repetitive - and tiresome.

Boehner (R-Ohio) has proposed a short-term budget bill to keep the government open into the new fiscal year with relatively little fuss. But during a speech in Boise, Idaho, on Monday [August 26], he said House Republicans will draw a line in the sand over lifting the federal debt limit, demanding spending “cuts and reforms that are greater than the increase in the debt limit.” 

House GOP bracing for debt limit battle

The thing is - what he's proposing is impossible, so it won't happen.  It didn't work before and it won't work again.  And it especially won't happen if they make a movement like they're serious about it, and all of a sudden our markets tank and our credit rating takes another hit.

Boehner, is, in fact, predicting this:  "...Boehner said, predicting a repeat of the debt-limit fight of 2011, which tanked consumer confidence, along with the GOP’s approval ratings."

Seriously?   SERIOUSLY?
