Straight Talk from Speaker Boehner

As we watch the Main Stream Media (MSM) and the liberal press try to spin the debt crisis, here is some straight talk from Speaker of the House John Boehner.

The US House, lead by Speaker Boehner, is where all spending, tax and revenue bills originate from. The House is the only legislative body that has passed a bill, which is called "Cut, Cap and Balance". Simplly put, cut the US Federal spending, cap the debt ceiling and balance the budget. Not very complicated. But for spend & tax liberals in Washington, and President Obama, they are unwilling to look at real reform, real spending cuts and reducing the size of the bloated Federal government.

Call your US Senators today, whose last action on the budget debate was to table action on "Cut, Cap and Balance", and simply kick the can down the road. The Democrat US Senators from New Mexico (Udall, Bingaman) and Colorado (Bennett, Udall) all voted to table the bill. Clearly it's time to let our Senators know that we are disappointed in their big spending ways.

A Reasonable Approach to Fiscal Sanity

In a recent speech on the floor of the US Senate, Minority Leader Mitch McConnel (R-Kentucky) makes the case for fiscal disipline, and lays out the arguments (as made by the tea party) for cutting spending and getting the US Federal budget under fiscal control.

Pretty plan English on what we need our elected official in Washington to do.
