DON'T BUY A PIG IN POKE--NO MORE ACCEPTANCE OF ILLUSORY PROMISES FROM DEMOCRATS

Republicans are about to buy "a pig in a poke" based upon an illusory promise by Democrats to agree to cut spending over 10 years in the future in exchange for a huge raise in the debt ceiling now.  According to one online dictionary of idioms, a "pig in a poke" is "something acquired without inspection and which may therefore be worthless." 

Another online dictionary states that an illusory promise is: "A statement that appears to assure a performance and form a contract but, when scrutinized, leaves to the speaker the choice of performance or non-performance, which means that the speaker does not legally bind himself or herself to act." 

The Boehner bill is up for approval today by the House of Representatives.  In exchange for an immediate $900 billion raise in the debt ceiling, there is a promise by the Democrooks to reduce the debt by $850 Billion over 10 years.  (This is subject to pending revisions by Boehner to meet Congressional Budget Office criticisms.)  For a "quick and dirty" summary of the Boehner bill go here.

We've already seen how worthless Democrat promises of compromise have been in the past 40 years.  In the last Congress, the rule of thumb was that Democrats ran roughshod over Republicans and resorted to bribery and corruption to pass unwanted legislation like ObamaCare.  But with the Boehner Bill, our spendthrift President gets to spend a trillion dollars now in exchange for illusory cuts in the budget that might not happen over the next 10 years. 

Why does Obama get all of his debt ceiling raise at once and the American people have to wait for spending cuts dribbled out over 10 years?  Take a chance Republicans.  It's doubtful that the major credit agencies will downgrade the U.S. credit rating on August 2.  Too many nations are holding a bag U.S. financial paper.  No one wants a worldwide financial disaster over the Adolescent-in-Chief's bluff and irresponsibilty. 

Obama and the Democrats are the ultimate criminal syndicate with their lies and theft of public taxpayer funds.  It's time to stop these gangsters--NOW!  Take Obama's stolen credit card away.  Save America!
