They answer to their constituents, so yes...
How about chained CPI, another Repub scheme to defund Social Security.
You guys won't be happy unhtil you cancel everything back through FDR and give us a 2nd world-wide depression.

I'm blaming Hughes for purposely expanding the regulatory power of the federal government and state governments. He was the kind of guy that would argue for government authority even if it violated the rights of people, so excuse me if I consider him a douchebag.
And your point? What ever made you think we would get to the point where we would agree with your social agenda?
Their gerry-mandered constituents.
What do you think of Dems getting more total votes for the House and the Repubs have such a big lead in seats?
Opposite of what the Founders wanted.
The reason why we have the 17th amendment.
Thank goodness for T. Roosevelt, huh!
which hughes are we talking about here just for the record
linc, you're grasping once again. Unless you want to raise taxes to provide increased levels of benefits, there has to be modifications...
Total votes don't matter as House members are elected by district. This is the same type of fallacy put forth about the electoral college where winner takes all in the Presidential election which was not original intent...
Now you're on to taxes, in a back-hand sort of way to come up with something.
I'll give some credit there.
These are not INCREASED levels for people.
This is SOMETHING they don't even have.
Once you mention modifications, now we're talking.
Btw, I do have the ear of some of my Repub Congressman's people.
Can Republicans get over the fact they lost? The nation did not want them ruling. We have seen 30 plus years of these jokers at the helm. Lets just say it wasn't pretty. "deficits don't matter", "Iraq is a dangerous threat", "Russia is going to attack", "Trickle down". all to the benefit of the top earners. Now they are crying again about afa. When will they get the message it aint gonna happen? Talk about a bunch of insane crazy people doing the same thing over, and over again, 42 by my count. AFA is off the table Republicans need to do their job. We don't need terrorist in our own country and that is exactly what they are doing now. I would not be so harsh, but what would the replace it with......we are still waiting for that one!
There is no reason to offer a replacement when the federal government lacks the authority to be involved in the matter in the first place.
Sure. That shows just how bad it really is. It is more like half. If we made poverty less comfortable than work more people would work. If we eliminated the job killing regulations by eliminating the 500 independent agencies and all of their regulations we would return to full employment easily.
Sorry ya'll lost that battle to it the law deal with it. Put something better in place or STFU! Pretty simple!
Since when has it ever worked like that? You either figure out a way to make me shut up or deal with me continually trying to stop you.
I cannot help the fact that Republicans/Teabaggers/Libertarians/ or what ever the flavor of the day is. Ya'll lost its time to move on. This is by far and away the worst House I have ever seen a bunch of whiny babies. I meant shut up as in all the righties. Right now you people act like someone stole your pacifier and your diaper is full it been that way for 6 years now.

And you're not blaming a House bill even Repub senators won't sustain a cloture are you?
Does Canada pay her bills on time?
Do Canada pols work more than 40 days in 5 months as our House?
And look at the excretement so far from the GOP House.
Because he doesn't really have a choice. Whether or not he likes it, Obama is President until 2017.
So Boehner can work with that for the good of the country, or he can play silly political theatre. I think we all know what he'll choose, which is very sad.
There are things I don't like about Obama's presidency but are you out of your mind?Obama refused to compromise and work to consensus with Republicans so people elected House representatives who wouldn't compromise from the right - it's that simple.
There are things I don't like about Obama's presidency but are you out of your mind?
There have been times when Obama wanted to give House Republicans EVERYTHING they've asked for, no strings attached, and they still rebelled. There is literally nothing that Obama could do in some instances that the Republican House would negotiate on. Find a way to work with Republicans in the House? Many of those House members said they would work against Obama before he was even sworn into office. Obama has been far more compromising than most people.
If Obama were to say air is good, some House Republicans would raise a fuss and asphyxiate themselves to death in defiance. And then the surviving Republican members would find a way to blame Obama for that too.
It's not just a convenient excuse, it's also a fact.That's just convenient nonsense to excuse the utter disasterous Presidency of Obama. You can't own up to the fact Obama is a dolt of the highest order and an arrogant dolt at that. Boehner may be many things, but he's not stupid. He tried to work with Obama during the last "grand bargain" discussions and Obama/Boehner/Reid had a deal and Obama backed out when Nancy Pelosi wanted more even though her backing was irrelevant. Obama made his own bed.
