The US budget cannot sustain itself under the current rate of debt growth with no corresponding GDP growth. This is clear to most Americans (63%) who want a balanced budget, but the DC establishment wants the pork and bloat more than a steady economy and so they lobby and pressure the members of Congress to ignore the debt problem.
The opposition party, the GOP, is supposed to represent these Americans and actually oppose the Obama Regime's fiscally irresponsible policies, but they fail repeatedly to do so. Even when the GOP can stop the relentless debt building, they not only fail but betray their own party members and the public without fail.
In the house Speaker Boner announced to the shock of most of those at the GOP only breakfast, that he was 'moving forward', a phrase likely chosen to specifically show solidarity with the Obama Regime and its socialistic slogans.
In the Senate, where a Ted Cruz filibuster could have defeated the measure, McConnell, a supposed conservative was the first GOP Senator to cave, then twelve more RINOs came along to include McCain, of course.
Despite the opposition of 44% of this nations citizens (a two to one ratio), the lame, loser, traitorous RINOs in the GOP will keep the pork flowing till the US dollar isn't even worth the price of toilet paper.
We need a new party that can actually act as OPPOSITION to the Democrats, and not facilitators to a dictatorial regime of fascists.

The GOP is worthless as an opposition party to the Obama regime.
We need a new party that is really conservative.

Dramatic debt vote stirs Senate | TheHill
Sixty votes were needed to overcome a filibuster by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who complained that Congress was raising the debt ceiling without demanding any curbs on Washingtons spending.
With the upper chambers Democrats and Independents all voting yes, Senate Republicans needed to muster five votes to overcome Cruz.
Yet during an hour of tense floor conversations, it appeared they might fail.
The vote started late, as Senate Republicans huddled behind closed doors. After meeting for roughly an hour in private, the conference still did not know whether it could conjure up the needed votes.
On the floor, the procedural vote ran on for another hour, with Republicans slow to offer support.
Cornyn and McConnell, who is the most vulnerable Senate Republican up for reelection in 2014, then voted to end the debate, making it clear the procedural motion would be approved.
After their dramatic votes, another group of Republicans met in a room off the Senate floor. They returned, and several switched their votes from no to yes.
Some members said they switched their votes to give cover to McConnell and Cornyn.
I didnt want this to come down to just be a criticized vote for just a few of our people. It just wasnt right, said Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), who fought off a primary challenger in 2012 and is serving his last term.
In the end, 12 Republicans voted to end debate in the 67-31 vote.
The GOP is worthless as an opposition party to the Obama regime.
We need a new party that is really conservative.
