THere was the “NEW DEAL”, the “FAIR DEAL” and the “BIG F*CKING DEAL”.
I’m for the “NO DEAL”. House veto. Obame, figure it out what 40% to cut and trash him if he picks wrong.
At most, the House could have split the difference: Give Obama half the borrowing in monthly installments through 2012 and let him defund 20% of the government, repeal ObamaCare and extend the Bush tax cuts permanently, take it or leave it. It would have been a brilliant learning experience for everyone.

Agreed. Then immediately present a more austere bill than originally submitted, that does away with all funding for NPR or the NEA, as examples. Rinse and repeat as needed. Kill a leftwing sacred cow with each amended plan until they cave.
