What's new

Republican controlled house says.."DEFUND Obamacare, or we're SHUTTING the GOVT. DOWN "

The GOP's Demands:

One Year Debt Limit Increase

Not a dollar amount increase, but suspending the debt limit until the end of December 2014.

Similar to what we did earlier this year.

Want the year long to align with the year delay of Obamacare.

One Year Obamacare delay

Tax Reform Instructions

Similar to a bill we passed last fall, laying out broad from Ryan Budget principles for what tax reform should look like.

Gives fast track authority for tax reform legislation

Energy and regulatory reforms to promote economic growth

Includes pretty much every jobs bill we have passed this year and last Congress

All of these policies have important positive economic effects.

Energy provisions

Keystone Pipeline

Coal Ash regulations

Offshore drilling

Energy production on federal lands

EPA Carbon regulations

Regulatory reform

REINS Act

Regulatory process reform

Consent decree reform

Blocking Net Neutrality

Mandatory Spending Reforms

Mostly from the sequester replacement bills we passed last year

Federal Employee retirement reform

Ending the Dodd Frank bailout fund

Transitioning CFPB funding to Appropriations

Child Tax Credit Reform to prevent fraud

Repealing the Social Services Block grant

Health Spending Reforms

Means testing Medicare

Repealing a Medicaid Provider tax gimmick

Tort reform

Altering Disproportion Share Hospitals

Repealing the Public Health trust Fund
 
Obama and the Dem's position:

Keep the government running, and we'll talk about everything else, except killing ACA
 
Looks like someone told the junior senator from Texas (Cruz) to sit down and STFU.

He is like that whiny new hire that knew how to fix every problem with any airplane right out of A&P school.

Very smart, yet very dangerous. The senior senators will school him in decorum once the spotlight has dimmed.

Even Krauthammer is dissing him.

That group hopefully won't listen.......What was it Trent Lott said after the 2010 erection?

"We need to co-opt these new people"

America needs people to stand up to the old guards in both parties. The same old crap isn't flushing in America's toilet anymore.

BTW, as a new A+P on his first tour of the wheel well and cockpit of N-727M, all those lines and cables and gizmo's.....then it was 'hit this, this and that and she'll start' in the cockpit......then a headache. After a short time, all was cool.
 
that's why GOP is doing what they did..

Obama lies.....trust me he said...


"While Obama's spokesman Jay Carney called the move "an encouraging sign" and said the president would sign a so-called clean bill to raise the debt ceiling, it wasn't yet clear exactly what the legislation would entail.

Obama has said he would sign a short-term extension, but not if it contained other language he opposes, and he wants Congress to send him a bill unconditionally ending the partial government shutdown as well."

Maybe Momma Roth is the one speaking " less than truthfully ".

Omission is commission

Pot...

Now you are omitting.......

The proposal, from House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio), would extend U.S. borrowing authority until Nov. 22 with none of the major policy strings Republicans had previously demanded, and which the White House had rejected.
After a meeting at the White House between Mr. Obama and a group of senior House Republicans, lawmakers said the president didn't embrace the debt-limit proposal, but also didn't reject it. "He didn't say yes, he didn't say no,'' said House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R., Wis.). "We're continuing to negotiate this evening."

Although the Republican proposal addressed only the debt limit, and left unclear how the two sides would reach agreement on a budget bill to reopen the government, House Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers (R., Ky.) said after the meeting that negotiators now were in talks to see if they could resolve both issues.

Means Obama is caving
 
"Would sign a ... Clean bill..."

"Would sign a short term extension, but not if it contained other language he opposes..."

So, Maintaining your original position is caving...

Very creative

Denial

Whatever you wanna' call it.

Obama will have trouble sleeping tonite......

Just think how he jacked off the families of those KIA's he did nothing about?

A benefactor steps in to help...........Senate/House sign off on funding and the stooge says he won't sign it, then caves......

Vets see Obama no the GOP.........LOL

You guys got the best qualified community organizer the nation could want.
 
Keep digging...

Abstract:
Why does public conflict over societal risks persist in the face of compelling and widely accessible scientific evidence? We conducted an experiment to probe two alternative answers: the “Science Comprehension Thesis” (SCT), which identifies defects in the public’s knowledge and reasoning capacities as the source of such controversies; and the “Identity-protective Cognition Thesis” (ICT) which treats cultural conflict as disabling the faculties that members of the public use to make sense of decision-relevant science. In our experiment, we presented subjects with a difficult problem that turned on their ability to draw valid causal inferences from empirical data. As expected, subjects highest in Numeracy — a measure of the ability and disposition to make use of quantitative information — did substantially better than less numerate ones when the data were presented as results from a study of a new skin-rash treatment. Also as expected, subjects’ responses became politically polarized — and even less accurate — when the same data were presented as results from the study of a gun-control ban. But contrary to the prediction of SCT, such polarization did not abate among subjects highest in Numeracy; instead, it increased. This outcome supported ICT, which predicted that more Numerate subjects would use their quantitative-reasoning capacity selectively to conform their interpretation of the data to the result most consistent with their political outlooks. We discuss the theoretical and practical significance of these findings.

A new study finds that even how you solve a difficult math problem can depend on your politics. AlenKadr/Shutterstock


Everybody knows that our political views can sometimes get in the way of thinking clearly. But perhaps we don't realize how bad the problem actually is. According to a new psychology paper, our political passions can even undermine our very basic reasoning skills. More specifically, the study finds that people who are otherwise very good at math may totally flunk a problem that they would otherwise probably be able to solve, simply because giving the right answer goes against their political beliefs.

The study, by Yale law professor Dan Kahan and his colleagues, has an ingenious design. At the outset, 1,111 study participants were asked about their political views and also asked a series of questions designed to gauge their "numeracy," that is, their mathematical reasoning ability. Participants were then asked to solve a fairly difficult problem that involved interpreting the results of a (fake) scientific study. But here was the trick: While the fake study data that they were supposed to assess remained the same, sometimes the study was described as measuring the effectiveness of a "new cream for treating skin rashes." But in other cases, the study was described as involving the effectiveness of "a law banning private citizens from carrying concealed handguns in public."

The result? Survey respondents performed wildly differently on what was in essence the same basic problem, simply depending upon whether they had been told that it involved guns or whether they had been told that it involved a new skin cream. What's more, it turns out that highly numerate liberals and conservatives were even more—not less—susceptible to letting politics skew their reasoning than were those with less mathematical ability.
 
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Families of fallen troops will be assured of receiving death benefits under legislation President Barack Obama signed Thursday amid a national firestorm after the Pentagon suspended the roughly $100,000 payments during the partial government shutdown.

But his chief spokesman, Jay Carney, had said the measure was unnecessary because a military charity had stepped in to continue the payments.



Obama caves again....

The bill is the second "piecemeal" measure Obama has signed to hold the military harmless during the shutdown.

Ted :
If Democrats voted to fund the men and women in the active military, why are they blocking funding the VA?
 
GOP changed House rules to prevent the opening of the government.
