The House on Thursday afternoon approved a rule allowing consideration later Thursday evening of Speaker John Boehner's "Plan B" legislation on the fiscal cliff.
Members approved the rule in a mostly party line 219-197 vote, although 13 Republicans voted against it along with every voting Democrat. Republicans voting against the rule were Reps. Justin Amash (Mich.), Paul Broun (Ga.), Trent Franks (Ariz.), Louie Gohmert (Texas), Andy Harris (Md.), Tim Huelskamp (Kan.), Walter Jones (N.C.), Jim Jordan (Ohio), Jeff Landry (La.), Thomas Massie (Ky.), Ron Paul (Texas), Jean Schmidt (Ohio) and Joe Walsh (Ill.).
One bill covered under the rule would extend current tax rates on annual family income under $1 million, while a second bill would replace the sequester with a GOP plan that mostly spares defense cuts in January
House advances Boehner's 'Plan B', sets up Thursday night vote - The Hill's Floor Action
Not really a fan of this plan, but at least the Republicans are doing something other than talk. Unfortunately the Senate leadership has already said they wont even allow a vote on it.
What spending cuts does plan B have? Oh, that little "detail" will come later... :lol:
If I'm not mistaken, don't committees usually decide that stuff?

Not much of a surprise here. Corporations want your taxes directly into their pockets . By creating a false idea that taxing the rich is bad, coupling it with the republcian religious right wing who worship the rich, Boehner wants to bankrupt the US by giving our social programs to the rich corporations and raise taxes on us to give them more money.
Sick and twisted...and only a fool would have voted for these guys.

Who worships money more. If Obama got the tax hikes he wants that would being in around 800 billion over ten yrs. He borrows 1.2 trillion a yr thus after he gets his tax hikes he will still borrow 1.1 trillion every yr. Now who is bankrupting our country with excessive spending. You guessed it, Obama.
Well, let's be fair. He was GIVEN a $13 trillion debt, unfunded Medicare Part B with the pharmacies getting HUGE welfare checks, two wars with predetermined dates to withdraw and a bunch of pork barrelling republicans. Raising taxes on the rich to the 2000 level will at least put money BACK into the budget the Bush withdrew.
Like I said Obama is borrowing this yr 1.2 trillion and what he wants in tax hikes is 800 billion over 10 yrs, so now he only has to borrow 1.1 trillion each yr. Wars, Afghanistan Obama said was a "just war" and he added 30,000 more troops and we're still there, and the worst part we're losing the war. Unlike Bush who won the Iraq war. Obama also invaded Libya, the unfunded Medicare Part B had a hole in it which Obama closed. All of this was unfunded by Obama. Pork that is a laugh, McCain has been trying to stop "Pork" for decades. Predetermined dates your talking about Obama, he's the only one that put in place a predetermined date and that was Afghanistan and of course that was a lie.
Then you want to talk about welfare, Obamacare is yet another entitlement that is costing billions of tax payer dollars. Liberal = tax, borrow, spend and freebees.

And they pull the vote and the GOP goes home for Christmas. Boehner is in trouble now.
Good for the country if Bohner goes. That will mean a real solution. Time to get someone in who will hold the line against the liberals.
He's also needing the permission of your republican congress to ALLOW the money. CONGRESS, not the president, approves the budget money. AND he's asking for stopping corporate tax loopholes which pushed up Bush's $13 trillion debt, and he's asking for cuts in other programs. He's making a better budget deal with more funds to support HIS programs, than the republicans EVER did to support their wars, the Homeland Security and the Medicare Part B.
The White House is proposing a 'balanced approach' of cuts along with revenue at about 1:1 which is not bad, why do the Republicans have to quit talks and go off on this tangent? The proposal will lower the deficit by almost $1/4 trillion per year.
