Voters Support Spending Cuts Over Avoiding Shutdown

We wasted $700 billion in freebies to the billionaires who don't need tax cuts - most are double dipping anyway having got bailed out by Bush's TARP giveaway.
The first entitlement that needs to be cut are tax cuts for the rich! The freeloadin' robber barons that responsible for the deficit are getting welfare and complaining about the deficit.
Voters don't support the conservative social engineering Republicans are dumping on us.
Voters don't support cuts to Medicare, Social Security and infrastructure.
Voters don't support the dishonest Citizens United case which is responsible for corruption of elections and the disinformation campaigns paying for spineless to sabotage our country.
Voters don't support these Republicans and teabaggers that so hate this country and its government that they want to shut it down.

“The number of federal workers earning $150,000 or more a year has soared tenfold in the past five years and doubled since President Obama took office, a USA TODAY analysis finds.”

We saw lots of spending cuts to extend government operations, because Democrat controlled Congress could not pass budget when due Oct. 2010. Know you hate our puposal for the remaing of fisical budget year ending in Oct..
Polls in 2010 was against near all bills passed and signed into law. Especially obamacae. Call us names and hate the polls all you want. Doesn’t change the facts and Nov. 2, 2010 results....

Good April Fools Joke!
What an excellent mockery of the freakishly foolish Republican irresponsibility!
Anymore no one supports these GOP fools or the knucklehead teabaggers.
Folks want to see real governance, ans since government is the art of compromise - we want to see compromise and things getting done.
But No!! Al we're seeing from the GOP is grandstanding and principled flim-flam.
Of course only fools take these kind of rascal partisan polls seriously.

One that wants to survive to continue doing good. “Hurl vile insults ”, that’s your side. Trump speaks truth. Asking for proof is not “hurl vile insults”. Why does barry fear showing birth certificate ? McCain’s birth was questioned and he showed.
We will continue doing Nov. 2, 2010 bidding...

The GOP proposes a heartless cut that will kill 70,000 kids worldwide, and endorses Trump, who.hurl vile insults at our president, calling him a "kiss ass" and "waronger". What kind of party is this?

That we Republicans are racist because we are against obamacare.
Never mind we were against against under Clinton. Never mind CBO agrees that obamacare will cause more deficit not less...
