WASHINGTON — At a closed-door Capitol meeting on Wednesday, Representative Peter Roskam of Illinois was regaling other Republicans with his imitation of Speaker John A. Boehner, imagining him in the current budget negotiations with President Obama.
He pretended to drag on a cigarette like the chain-smoking speaker, and blew away smoke and Obama’s tax demands in one raspy retort: ‘‘Ain’t gonna happen.’’

Let's start by cutting congressional pay and perks by 90% from $175,000 per year to the same pay rate as a private in the army $17,500 per year this is still more than a lot of seniors living on social security. Then we can cut the entitlements to the rich by raising their taxes so they can pay their fair share.

Mr. Boehner, I know of a way to cut spending. 1) Go see what you can do to cut spending in the, unaccauntable, Black Budget.
Oh, here is another one: Stop America from being an Empire with its over 800 military bases all over the planet. And why does the CIA have its own air force. Isn't one enough?
