The left is NOT happy and they are not buying the “we got a good deal” line the Whitehouse. I’ve been reading some of the comments on thehill.com and politico and they are not having a good day. There is a story on thehill.com where a whitehouse spokesman said, “There is a lot in deal for dems to love.” one disgruntled liberal said “Hitler 1939: Lots in newly contracted resort camps for Jews to love”. Yes, they are comparing this debt deal to the holocaust, they are not happy campers. They’re also calling the defense cut trigger a Republican trick, stating that Republicans know all they have to do is claim that soldiers will not have body armor or enough supplies and Obama and the dems will quickly cave and allow the money from the defense cuts to be put back in the budget, so as not to appear anti-soldier. This will leave only the social spending cuts which the Republicans will not reverse under any circumstances.
That’s probably the only upside to this deal. The libs wanted increased spending and radical tax hikes. So far out in lala land that anything approaching reality would be disaster to them.
So at least we got that out of the crap sandwich we just got served.
