Sen. Rand Paul Speaks with Radio America

July 29, 2011 by GregC

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul rejects the Boehner debt ceiling plan as ‘fuzzy Washington math’ and says adding a balanced budget mandate presents an internal conflict with other parts of the bill.  Why does he believe the Boehner plan is fundamentally flawed when it comes to spending?  What approach does he see as reasonable while leading the government to a balanced budget in less than a decade?  How would he address the entitlement programs about to be swarmed by retired boomers?  Why is President Obama’s domestic spending freeze very misleading?  And what is Sen. Paul’s reaction to the war of words this week between the Tea Party and the GOP establishment?  We discuss it all with Sen. Rand Paul.

Why the Boehner Bill is Wrong

July 28, 2011 by GregC

House Speaker John Boehner seems poised to corral the votes needed to send his debt ceiling extension plan to the Senate.  But Dean Clancy of Freedomworks says the Boehner plan is a terrible idea.  Why does he suggest House Republicans stand on “Cut, Cap, Balance” and why does he say the Boehner plan would almost certainly result in tax increases?

Only Solution is in 2012

July 28, 2011 by GregC

House Speaker John Boehner appears to be close to rounding up the votes he needs to pass the debt ceiling extension plan that is roiling his own party.  Louisiana Rep. John Fleming voted against one of the continuing resolutions during the budget fight earlier this year, so how is he going to vote this evening?  What were the key factors in his decision?  Is he worried the committee proposed in the bill would raise taxes?  Would rejecting the Boehner plan give momentum to Harry Reid’s plan?  We ask Rep. Fleming.

Three Martini Lunch 7/28/11

July 28, 2011 by GregC

Greg Corombos of Radio America and Jim Geraghty of National Review are impressed by Speaker John Boehner’s ability to win over members of his own party to his debt ceiling debate plan, but are disappointed that there is so much disagreement in the first place. They are also surprised by the very public calls by big donors for Chris Christie and Rick Perry to throw their hat into the 2012 ring.
