Unruly Scene on House Floor: Steny Hoyer Booed, Eric Cantor Interrupted by Chants
More government shut down drama–and mudslinging!
The New York Times:
Passions were running high in the House on Thursday morning as a federal government shutdown loomed and members of Congress began to get queasy about the prospect of being blamed for the ensuing disruptions.
As Republican and Democratic leaders traded barbs, lawmakers loudly jeered and cheered their respective leaders, giving the House a little of the atmosphere of the British Parliament.
Representative Steny H. Hoyer of Maryland, the chamber’s second-ranking Democrat, drew loud hoots when he implied that House Republicans were Tea Party lackeys. He also noted that Democrats, when they controlled the House, negotiated with President George W. Bush rather than close the government when they disagreed over the war in Iraq.
“We never shut down the government when we were in the majority and President Bush had power,†Mr. Hoyer said. “There is a rational way for us to proceed, and very frankly when we were in your shoes we did so when we couldn’t reach agreement with President Bush.â€

Posted on April 7, 2011 at 6:25pmMaybe if the Dems had done they’re job and passed a budget in October this wouldn’t be happening.
By the way isn’t the President in charge of starting the Budget process? The only reason they didn’t do it, was because the President and the Democrats didn’t want to be arguing budget during the election. They knew they would loose in a much greater degree!
Why aren’t they telling the truth? These aren’t even spending cuts when the budget has been inflated as much as 140% in some areas. This is Bull &*% ….31 Billion? that’s like me telling my family we cant have Electricity for 15 hrs at some point during this year because we are on a budget!

1.5 trillion over budget, 1500 billion dollars. & they cant agree to 60 billion.

We have a good man runing HERMAN CAIN that is a very capable and honest American and has proven that he has what it takes to be a leader.He also has more experience in the buisness world than a lot of the people thats running and Mr Cain has something that i havent seen in any of the other Canidate and something that will be a huge asset for the Prsident and that is just plain everyday COMMON SENSE.Common sense is a valuable asset for anyone to have.

Posted on April 7, 2011 at 6:25pmThey didn’t want to pass a budget because the November mid term elections were around the corner. They were afraid of passing a budget and paying the consequences of it at the ballot box…not that it did them any good. They should have taken responsibility to fulfill their duties, but as usual, the Democrats tried to escape blame.

Posted on April 7, 2011 at 8:49pmMichael, because there are so many “essential agencies” — If they shut down the Government for 32 weeks, it would break even, to get Billions you need to shut down non essential things for years. The biggest savings would come from shutting down the active duty Military, the Border Patrol, and all of the newly hired DHS (like the TSA) – which will never happen!

Posted on April 7, 2011 at 8:57pmFrank – right now the managers of Government offices are not working on their mission, they are planning how to manage a shutdown. This is a HUGE waste of time. If they do shut down, their “pre-paid” Contractors begin charging OT to keep the wheels rolling. FRurloughed people need to keep staying in touch, so they get 4-6 hours a week for not working. When the shut down ends, there is a Start-Up[ phase and a Impact phase – which is wasteful. Last time, when the shutdown ended, all employees got retroactive Pay – plus Interest. It goes On and ON.

Actually, the lack of a budget for fiscal year 2011 was the responsibility of the LAST all DEMOCRAT congress to complete.

This is the DECMOCRATS, not wanting to take responsibility, for a job that was THEIRS to do, under the constitution, in 2010. Democrats controlled the House, Democrats Controlled the Senate, Democrats controlled the Presidency. It was a SLAM DUNK to pass the budget, except, they do not want to be blamed for whats in it, and how much more in debt it puts us. Which brings up the legitimate question of WHATS IN IT? Its like the Healthcare bill, sign it now, do not read it till after its signed,,,, Its simple a means to put the blame onto the Republicans and the Teapartiers. We are now, 6 months, 7 days, past the time of when a budget was supposed to have been passed.

@Encinom
One does not ““compromise†with S.C.U.M.
And you are a member in good standing.

Posted on April 8, 2011 at 12:28amIf the government does shut down, I hope when the Dim‘s start pointing fingers at the R’s, I hope the R‘s respond with the fact that the Dim’s didn’t do their job last year in passing a budget in the first place. If they had we wouldn’t be where we are now, and maybe a few less Dim’s around. Strike all that…just answered my own question…

I disagree. THEY NEED TO BE HUNG … out to dry … in the light of day … off the Capitol Building eaves where all men may see and fear to become traitors like them. JUSTICE For TRAITORS is what is needed, not some ethereal Beck-do-nothing-non-justice-ism (“justice delayed is justice denied”). Sorry Glenn, you’re wrong on this one.

Posted on April 8, 2011 at 1:04amSteny Hoyer is the type of politician that “we the people” will no longer tolerate. The good old days, of the good old boys politics, has about run its course. Thank you Jesus!

Posted on April 8, 2011 at 4:27am“We never shut down the government when we were in the majority and President Bush had power,†Mr. Hoyer said. “There is a rational way for us to proceed, and very frankly when we were in your shoes we did so when we couldn’t reach agreement with President Bush.â€
No kidding, as long as you (Democrats) could spend that wasn’t a problem. Now when people had enough, you just can’t stop yourselves.

Posted on April 8, 2011 at 7:10amEncinom speaks of compromise. What a load of crap. When you compromise with a liberal,democrat, progressive, socialist or whatever they want to call themselves, conservatism loses. When right and wrong compromise, right loses. When good and evil compromise, good loses. I think I am seeing a pattern here.

Posted on April 8, 2011 at 10:14amI’ll say this I’m pretty proud that the Republican’s have been this steadfast. Before this new Congress they would have “comprised” by now.

Posted on April 8, 2011 at 12:35pmThe Democrats seem to think of the Tea Party as a group of politicians like they are, the Tea Party
is the American Conservative people…… So get over it…

Posted on April 10, 2011 at 9:50amEncinoM, who are your leaders? Reid? Pelosi? Boxer? Feinstein? Government shut-down? Come on and use a little common sense. The Tea Party did not shut down anything. They are for lower taxes. If you want to pay for abortions, donate. If you want to pay for NPR donate. Stop blaming others for your lack of donations. Believe in the Constitution. I think the Republicans should have started at 10% reduction and keep looking for more. There is a lot of waste in that budget that the Democrats did not pass.
