Fun and games in Washington

Seems that Boehner postponed the vote mere minutes before the roll call was scheduled to begin. More as it happens -- meanwhile, Senator Reid (from the Daily Caller):

Reid spokesman: �Boehner�s bill dies tonight�
House Republicans are just wasting their time debating Speaker John Boehner�s debt reduction bill, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said today.

�Boehner�s bill dies tonight,� Reid communications director Adam Jentleson wrote on Twitter. �Forever.�

Meanwhile, back on the ranch -- from Rasmussen Reports:

Right Direction or Wrong Track
Just 17% of Likely U.S. Voters now say the country is heading in the right direction, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey taken the week ending Sunday, July 24. That finding is the lowest measured since January 11, 2009.

From August 2007 to early January 2009, confidence in the nation�s current course ranged from a low of 10% to a high of 24%. When President Obama assumed office, optimism rose to 27% and climbed to the low to mid 30s until May 2009. That figure has steadily declined since.

Seventy-five percent (75%) of voters say the country is heading down the wrong track, the highest finding since early January 2009. Since that time, voter pessimism had ranged from 57% to 72%.

Most Republicans (91%) and voters not affiliated with either political party (77%) believe the country is heading down the wrong track. Even a strong majority (58%) of Democrats now say the country is heading in the wrong direction.

If this wasn't being all done with our money, it would be fun to kick back, make a bowl of popcorn and watch the show. The problem here is that these fools are playing these games with our money and they are not satisfied with the size of their sandbox -- they want to take more of our money to make it bigger.
