		<description>A handful of Democrats and the Republicans stopped this huge pork laden budget?  That&#039;s what I like to see bipartisanship.  Come on fearless leader join with us to praise this bipartisan effort.  It&#039;s a new day of hope and change.</description>

		<description>Can the entire Drug Enforcement Agency. 
Think of the Billions scalped in this do nothing, going nowhere war that never ends against drugs. (CIA uses the $$ to do Ops that have nothing to do with drugs)</description>

		<description>MR, 

I would keep the White House military office, but it should have somebody in it who can keep The Moron from humiliating himself with the military.

All of the rest of the positiions you named look like welfare to me.   Axe em.

BTW, how many of those positions did George Washington have?  Lincoln?

It&#039;s mind-boggling, no?</description>

		<description>Anybody that mentions the name Geithner during an audit will spend years in jail just for saying it.  It will be taken as proof positive that you cheated.

If you cut yourself some slack in your taxes, you better have a plausible reason other than that the Treasury Secretary is a crook and should be rotting in jail.

His side won, you know.

and that isn&#039;t a joke............this is what our country has become</description>

		<description>I hope the Senate amends it; I&#039;d really like to see if Pelosi would actually go through allowing the budget to remain at current levels.</description>

		<description>Oh no?! Our oppressive, money-hungry government might (gulp!) shut down? Woo-Hoo!

But, don&#039;t pop the corks yet....the government only exists to support itself. If there is only $100 left in the country, rest assured it will be spent on pizza for politicians. And the crumbs will be given to their assistants. 

It exists to keep itself existing. There will never be a shut down as long as the slaves keep producing.</description>

		<description>I hope Obama fails!

This drooling idiot communist knows the government is out of money. We&#039;re all running out of money, just the way he and his evil, tax-dodging, lying, corrupted toadies want it. It&#039;s the only way to bring down the USA. From within. Then the sheeple will turn en masse to the government for every scrap and crumb they&#039;re allowed to have.

We need a good old-fashioned purge from top to bottom, including (and especially) the dept of un-education and the unions.

Obama is commiting the foulest of treasons.</description>
