With no taxes?
ReidIdiot’s plan is different from the numerous Republican proposals that were voted down or ignored, etc. how exactly? =.=
Here’s all I have to say about Dingy Harry:
Rule One, dems lie.
Rule Two, dems like abortion.
Rule Three, don’t forget rules one and 2.
The leftie DUmmies will explode off into orbit in fury.
Probably phony cuts from accounting tricks that kick in 10 years from now that will never really happen. Don’t be suckered again!
Nah! Default you socialist vermin.
No, it is a dollar for dollar deal...
shuffling the credit cards again.
Dollar for dollar is ZERO, they are agreeing to nothing and ultimately doing the deal demonstrates this is a completely orchestrated crisis.
A real Cut or just a Reduction in the BLOATED rate of increase? Figures dont lie,but LIARS sure can figure
This plan will last until 6:00 PM, when Obama meets with Pelosi and Reid.
Moodys has said before: less than $4 trillion in cuts = credit downgrade.
Whatever it is that Reid is offering must be thoroughly examined for escape clauses, booby traps, other mischief as the DemoRATS are NOT trustworthy ever.
If true this is a good sign. The debate needs to be about the level of cuts without any tax hikes. The amount is important but not as important as ensuring we frame the debate for 2012.
The storyline for 2012 is that the dems have been running spending us into oblivion and now it is the Republicans turn (to spend us into half an oblivion).
1. Make up phony spending projections.
2. Make up phony cuts in the distant future.
3. Cut the sh*t out of defense.
4. Adjust 1, 2 and 3 until they compute to $2.4 trillion.
Voila!
Oh, yeah,and blame the Republicans when it falls through.
If S&P is true to its word, the downgrading will come.
no cuts intended, just minor reductions in the planned increases.
Eliminate all welfare, welfare health care, food stamps, the EPA, Department of Eucation, Interior Department, Energy Department, the FDA, for starters and fire everyone that works in them.
For a tax increase, eliminate the Earned Income Tax Credit.
WHY IS NOT BOEHNER, the Republicans and even Rush, Our Real Leader, NOT DEMANDING INSTANT EVALUATIONS of EVERY FEDERAL BEREAUCRAT EMPLOYEE thru Efficency Studies and Reductions of Force thruout the Entire FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, Department by DepartmenT????????????? CUT THE FEDERAL WASTE AND FRAUD!!
We dont need the Department of Energy, the Department of Education, nor 99% of the department of State to name just a few!! We can cut the Federal Payroll by 30% and not have any adverse effect whatsoever, and if we cut the Federal Payroll by 50%, AMERICA would see an Immediate Improvement of 1000%!!! CUT THE FRAUD AND CRAP IN GOVERNMENT!!
House Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi outlined to a small group of bloggers Friday a way that Democrats could reluctantly accept $2.5 trillion in cuts without revenue increases. They would take the $1.5 trillion in cuts identified by a bipartisan group led by Vice President Joseph Biden, added to $1 trillion from ending the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Democrats wouldn't be happy to accept such cuts without any tax increases but it would achieve their goal of preserving safety-net programs like Social Security and Medicare. And it would allow Congress to extend the debt limit through the end of next year—a $2.5 trillion increase—while meeting Mr. Boehner's condition of having an equal amount of spending cuts.
I won’t believe this any more than the 129 “Boehner’s Gonna Cave” threads I’ve seen this week.
If it’s true though, then perhaps the Dems finally cracked.
This is only to give the media an anti-compromise story against the repubs when they tell Harry to take a flying flip.
