Haven't seen any confirmation of this yet. But if true, then maybe the Dems blinked.

Reid to offer at "least $2.5 Trillion" in deficit redux w/ no revenue increases

And Zero Hedge also said, "If true, it is probably a ten year plan with deficit cuts on the back end. IOW, no deficit cuts."

Pretty clever...

Cuts first...no taxes later

If they cut spending why do they need a ceiling increase?

$2.5 Trillion over how many decades, Hairy?

Remember, for Democrats, going from a 10% increase to a 5% increase is a “cut”.

About time. It will be interesting to see what he comes up with. Finally, we get to see what the Dems would do to reduce spending. You can bet there will increased taxes and major cuts in defense. Entitlements won't be touched. And the spending cuts will be made years from now.

And the baseline will interesting since the Dems increased discretionary spending by 24% over the past two years. Lots of smoke and mirrors, but at last we will have something to compare our plan with theirs. Should make for some interesting discussions. Let the games begin.

It’s fake “cuts” like the last deal Obama cut with Bohner.

Reid's plan would surely cut the military to the bone tomorrow and cut everything else when time is kept in star dates. Obama and Reid will not put their name on any plan that immediately cuts spending. They will leave it to the House, and then bemoan any cuts as mean-spirited Republican actions through 2012. They are w/out balls, whatsoever.

If so, the GOPers must read. digest and vet every single word. TAKE NOTHING AT FACE VALUE!!! The dems are wired for treachery, so make absolutely sure there`s no gimmickry.
