Despite what the Obama-suck media is screwing over the airwaves, the only people coming up with plans to address the financial situation of the United States are the Republicans.
The Democrats offer no plans and just criticize the GOP to score cheap political points with voters. Is this how a responsible political party should act?
I don’t think so.

A defiant House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) late Friday defended his debt-ceiling plan by saying it is the only viable plan on paper so far.
The Speaker said he'd risked political capital and stuck his neck out to try to get a deal, while saying an agreement with Democrats was impossible due to their intransigence.
"I've offered ideas, I've negotiated," Boehner said in closing debate on his bill. "Not one time, not one time did the administration ever put any plan on the table. All they would do is criticize what I put out there.
"I stuck my neck out a mile to try to get an agreement with the president of the United States," Boehner continued to grumbling among Democrats. "Hey, I put revenues on the table in order to try to come to an agreement in order to avert us being where we are. But a lot of people in this town can never say yes."
Boehner closed his remarks by thundering: "This House has acted. And it is time for the administration and time for our colleagues across the aisle… put something on the table! Tell us where you are!"
Boehner defended an addition to his bill that would require both houses to pass a balanced-budget amendment to the Constitution, saying the country is ready for this change.
"It's time for this to happen," he said. "It enjoys support from both houses of this Congress, and it enjoys bipartisan and widespread support across our country."
