Boehner digs in on spending cuts, saying $33B is ‘not enough’
The Republican response to the various Democratic claims that a budget deal is imminent: There is no deal, and $33 billion in cuts is “not enough.”
Now available in hardback and paperback as well as ebook!
From the press release: In this ground-breaking new history of early America, historian Robert Zimmerman not only exposes the lie behind The New York Times 1619 Project that falsely claims slavery is central to the history of the United States, he also provides profound lessons about the nature of human societies, lessons important for Americans today as well as for all future settlers on Mars and elsewhere in space.
Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space, is a riveting page-turning story that documents how slavery slowly became pervasive in the southern British colonies of North America, colonies founded by a people and culture that not only did not allow slavery but in every way were hostile to the practice.
Conscious Choice does more however. In telling the tragic history of the Virginia colony and the rise of slavery there, Zimmerman lays out the proper path for creating healthy societies in places like the Moon and Mars.
“Zimmerman’s ground-breaking history provides every future generation the basic framework for establishing new societies on other worlds. We would be wise to heed what he says.” —Robert Zubrin, founder of founder of the Mars Society.

>> “We’re continuing to talk, but the stuff that’s left is the stuff that Reid is telling [negotiators] they can’t budge on,” the GOP aide said. <<
I don’t get what Reed was playing at by claiming they had a deal, then when Boehner said that was wrong, claiming the “extremist” tea party forced Boehner to back down? Obviously Boehner is not going to back him up – and after that would be even less willing to deal or trust Reed, and given the popularity of the tea party with the public, Reed isn’t going to win voter support? Also Reed’s demands to be in charge just seem like he wants his last 2 years heading the senate to be – interesting.
Follow up. Seems Reed thought if he said Boehner had agreed to a deal but was backing out, Boehner would agree to anything to not look like he was the obstructionist.
Didn’t work out that way.
