Enough of the EXCUSES, Bunning was not trying to cut the deficit, nor does he care about your grandchildren having to pay for the deficit.
- Bunning knows this extension will get approved. Bunning's one and only point was to stick it to President Obama, Pelosi and Reid on his way out the door.
- Bunning didn't give a damn about the PEOPLE who would be affected by 'his personal, vindictive action'. It's not just the unemployed, its also hard working taxpayers who will lose part of the income because of furloughs. Furloughs equal no taxes being paid into the deficit because no income is being generated.
-Bunning forgot to tell all the people that HE, his family and his fellow Republican senators/representatives and their families would not get furloughed, would not have to dip into their savings, would not have to make scarfices until the bill is extended because Bunning and company aren't affected by this extension, they will all get their PAYCHECKS on time and in full.
This self promotion, self preservation and just plain selfishness has reached a new level. Our so called elected officials don't care about the American people, it has become all about them trying to screw President Obama, Pelosi and Reid at any cost and regardless of the harm to the American public. It's not limited to the Republicans, the so-called conservative Dems are a party to this selfishness also.
I haven't read all the other posts, but I agree with you 100%. Where was this asshole when all the OTHER spending comprising "the debt that will be paid by our grandchildren" was voted on and approved? Seems to me he must have been around during the previous two Bush administrations. Why wasn't he holding up all that spend on "rebuilding" Iraq - not to mention the war itself. What's worse is that he screwed people over at the beginning of the month, when most have to pay rent/mortgage. Being late with those payments can be pricey and cost money that those folks don't have to begin with.
I couldn't have put it any better than you did.

wait....hold the fuck up. which administration exactly are you talking about? when bush took office there was a record surplus, which he turned into a record deficit.
