Cantor: “It’s hard to believe what the president is saying”
By JR Hoeft | Sunday, April 10th, 2011 | PolicyU.S. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) appeared on Fox News Sunday to talk about the latest budget showdown. Cantor said that this budget agreement was only a step in the right direction, but was certainly not a solution. He also mentioned that there was no rift between him and the Speaker of the House, John Boehner (R-OH), nor that he was “waiting in the wings” to fill the position should Boehner falter.

100B became 61B then wound up 38.5B.. We missed a Golden opportunity to pass across the board cuts and you people let your representatives get away with it.. Where is the outrage?
Turbo,
Rumsfeld said you go to war with the Army you have. These were the people elected. If you want different results you need different people. You also need a more attentive electorate. Frankly I would have been more suspicious with 100B because they would certainly employ all kinds of shell games. If they do that with a measly 38B they have no figleaf.
Having said that, do you really think this kind of deep-rooted problem created over decades can be fixed by a few politicians? Conservatism or even common sense has been routed from the public schools, the media, academia, the non- profits as well as the public sector. Until there is a minimum balance restored in all these areas don’t expect miracles.
That’s coming from the mouth of Eric Cantor?
Well any elected offical that “pledged” to cut 100 Billion and/or 61 billion should not vote for the 38.5 billion then. If they do then they broke their pledge and it is the same old same old Washington. And just what are the cuts when they voted the other day elected officals were asking the press what was in the agreement. Sounds like a previous Speaker who said ” we need to pass it to see what is in it”. And is far a the the social issues and EPA regulations the R’s give in and the D’s stood their ground and said NO! And now they are talking about what they got on their plate to do and are patting themselves on their backs and want to move on! Yes I guess they do they want us to forget the so called Pledge they agreed too. It will stay fresh with me until November 2012.
