House Republicans Assail Haley’s “Weak” Vetoes

Members of the S.C. Senate aren’t the only ones piling on S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley for her less-than-aggressive budget vetoes … 

After several Senators ripped the governor for her underwhelming commitment to protecting taxpayers, a top GOP consultant affiliated with several members of the S.C. House of Representatives also weighed in – noting how Haley failed to veto the signature education agenda item of U.S. President Barack Obama.

“(Senators) aren’t the only ones shocked that she didn’t veto what you refer to as ‘Obamagarten,'” the consultant told us. “I mean, we passed the (budget) 54-52. We were just about BEGGING for substantive vetoes to sustain. We got these nit-picky vetoes instead.”

Ouch …

For the third year in a row Haley failed to veto even one percent of the state budget, cutting just one half of one percent of the $22.7 billion spending plan.

That’s pathetic … especially coming from a so-called “Tea Party” Republican.

So why did the Repuklicrats and Demlicans override those nit-picky vetoes on the order of just over 50% to date?

Let me understand this: You have overwhelming Republican majorities in both the House and the Senate, and yet it is somehow Haley’s fault that the budget reflects excessive spending? If the General Assembly wants an austere budget, they should pass one, not the buck.

Blame game bullshit is always best, you get what you want without having to pay for it in negative publicity. While everyone is figuring out who to blame, they are missing the fact that everyone is to blame.

So if our fine legislators think the budget was so bad that it needed more vetoes, why did they adopt the thing in the first place?

Being a child of the 70’s and living far outside of town, my mother used to plop a salad bowl on my head and simply trim around it for my hair cut.

This picture brings back the memories of the “good ole days” for me.

The people who are complaining are RINOS. They are actually Libertarians and that is how they should run. Then lets see if they get elected.

Worry not … the USSA’s massive debt ($64 trillion) will crush the dollar.
USSA is in default now via money printing (QE).
Social unrest is forthcoming.
