WHO IS PULLING THE STRINGS ON THIS PUPPET THEATRE?

[kpete]

Heritage Action is now whipping against Boehner's latest ploy.
I don't see how it survives without their support. (This is Jim DeMint's group.)

House Republicans Won't Vote Tonight
Several outlets now report that House Republicans won’t vote on their own leadership’s proposal tonight, and that conservative organization Heritage Action’s opposition to the bill is to blame.

KEY VOTE: “NO” ON HOUSE SPENDING AND DEBT DEAL
OCTOBER 15, 2013

Tonight, the House is scheduled to vote on a plan that would extend government funding to December 15 and the debt ceiling through February 7 in exchange for overturning the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) ruling that created the congressional exemption. Unfortunately, the proposed deal will do nothing to stop Obamacare’s massive new entitlements from taking root — radically changing the nature of American health care.

Despite overruling OPM’s congressional exemption, the proposed plan will do absolutely nothing to help Americans who are negatively impacted by Obamacare. Premiums will continue to skyrocket, cancellation notices will still arrive in the mail, employers will continue reducing hours and bureaucrats will continue reaching deeper and deeper into our health care decisions.

Moreover, on January 1, 2014, Obamacare’s new entitlements are scheduled to take effect. The taxpayers will spend $48 billion in 2014 – and nearly $1.8 trillion through 2023 – on these new entitlement programs. Additionally, health insurance premiums are skyrocketing across America, and employers are shedding jobs and hours. The majority of the American people oppose Obamacare. Even many on the Left – including some powerful unions who were once the law’s strongest supporters – have conceded that it is a train wreck.

In 2009, President Obama boldly declared “for those who have insurance now, nothing will change.” For far too many Americans though, it is painfully clear the law has changed everything. These Americans are clamoring for a way out of Obamacare, not another Washington-style punt.

Heritage Action opposes the House proposal and will include it as a key vote on our legislative scorecard.

**************

Today the Senate made a deal.
And Boehner broke that deal. AGAIN.

He said he didn't have the votes. That is a LIE.

There are 200 or so Democrats in the House of Representative who would end this shutdown right now, but John Boehner wants to pretend that they do not exist.

4. Follow the money to see which oligarchs and institutions are shorting the dollar, t-bills etc. while

also lobbying the Republicans to keep the shutdown and delay raising the debt ceiling.

Thanks for the thread, kpete.
