Monday night, House Speaker John Boehner took to the airwaves to taught his deficit reduction plan. Of course the left didn’t like this plan, but they aren’t alone:

The debt ceiling deal introduced by Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) would save, by one measure, roughly $850 billion over the course of ten years and just $1 billion in 2012 — two metrics unlikely to satisfy the most conservative members of his conference.

The Congressional Budget Office, which is the official scorekeeper of legislation, released its analysis of the Budget Control Act of 2011 on Tuesday afternoon. The findings were damaging enough that an hour later, Boehner’s office told reporters it would rewrite the bill to achieve a more favorable scoring. Hours after that, GOP leadership announced it was delaying a vote on the plan until Thursday.

Measured against March 2011 government expenditure levels, the Boehner proposal, as currently written, would reduce the deficit by $850 billion during the next decade, according to the CBO. Measured against January 2011 government spending levels, the bill would reduce budget deficits by roughly $1.1 trillion during that same time period.

And it isn’t just the “most conservative” corners of his party rejecting this plan. We see Americans as a whole wanting something more along the lines of an Obama plan than a Boehner plan:

Most Americans would like to see a mix of spending cuts and tax increases be part of a deal to raise the debt ceiling, a new poll finds, aligning the majority with President Barack Obama’s position.

Of those surveyed for a Reuters/Ipsos poll released Tuesday, 56 percent said they want to see a mix of approaches used in an agreement to raise the debt ceiling. The poll was conducted overnight Monday, as Obama and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) voiced their views on the impasse in negotiations in back-to-back televised primetime speeches.

“It does seem to be that the popular narrative is falling on the side of the president on this one,” Ipsos pollster Julia Clark said.

Just 19 percent of Americans said they favor a plan like Boehner’s, which would rely solely on spending cuts to existing programs to reduce the deficit. Twelve percent said they would prefer a plan to reduce the deficit only by raising taxes.

56%-19% is a huge margin. It’s also not the first time we have seen the people throw their support behind the President.

The right is losing this argument in a big way, yet they are hell-bent on taking the nation down with them. We have six days remaining until our nation goes into default. That means our credit rating will most likely be downgraded and we will see interest rates rise.

None of that matters though. As I have said time and time again, the right believes in party before country. A prime example of that can be seen by something Donald Trump told Fox News this week:

On Monday, Donald Trump urged Republicans to reject any deal with Democrats to raise the debt ceiling and let the country risk default. Economists and administration officials have warned that defaulting on our debt would have dire economic consequences, but for Trump there is an upside: the crisis would prevent President Barack Obama from being reelected.

“Frankly the Republicans would be crazy unless they get 100 percent of the deal that they want right now to make any deal,” Trump said on “Fox and Friends” Monday. “If this happens, for instance if this stuff is going on prior to an election, he can’t get reelected. He possibly can’t get elected anyway. … The fact is, unless the Republicans get 100% of what they want, and that may include getting rid of Obamacare, which is a total disaster, then they should not make a deal other than a minor extension which would take you before the election which would ensure Obama doesn’t get elected, which would be a great thing.”

Let me put this in other terms: Screw you America! We don’t care that you will see higher interest rates, get yourself further in debt, maybe lose a house or not be able to eat. Go die for all we care, because all we are worried about is the next election.

Our country is sailing into uncharted waters with danger signs ahead and no one on the right seems concerned over that. Instead they are just fuming because their is a black man sitting in the White House. Still sound too harsh? Well then ask yourself why the Republicans never once blinked an eye when George Bush raised the debt limit 18 times, or when he turned a surplus into a deficit in the first 8 months in office.

That isn’t some “liberal media” spin – that is 100% fact and part of the Congressional record.
