John Boehner Saves the Federal Government From Shutting Down, and Look How He Did It

John Boehner is looking more like a joke with each passing day. Rather than stand up to a crazy federal budget and play hardball, Boehner is all but conceding to the demand of the Democrats who are spreading fear the federal government my shut down. My friends, that isn't a bad thing, especially if it slows down federal spending.

“This is very simple: Americans want the government to stay open, and they want it to spend less money,” Boehner will say.

Let's look at why Boehner is a joke. In basically what appears to be a compromise to keep the full federal government operating, Boehner basically negotiated a 1.5% spending cut over a couple of weeks.

Actually Mr. Boehner, we want many of us want many of the out of control federal bureaucracies closed, and you just ensured they will continue to function without interruption.
