Any Republican that votes for this and says they are cutting actual spending is a total and abject liar.

I don’t like Paul’s positions on drugs and illegal immigration, but on Gov’t spending, entitlements and debt, his comments are always excellent.

Curious how they can be negotiating anything when there is no official basis such as the required by the Constitution budget in place to base anything upon. There hasn’t been a budget since the one G.W.Bush put in place that expired October I believe of 2009.

This “President” wants to raise the debt ceiling so he can spend, spend, spend, but hasn’t done his job constitutionally. Where’s the outrage? Where’s the protest?

What am I missing here? Something is rotten in America.

AND CBO used 2010 GDP numbers!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not 2011 numbers. So cuts are overblown.

Don't worry... people will be along soon to call Ron Paul all sorts of names and tell us why increasing the debt on the back of future Americans is awesome.

I remember when Republicans were actually conservative.

Rush discussed base-line budgeting at length, last Thursday

[TEXOKIE]

Rep Gohmert (sp?)of Texas and Rush are exposing it too.

[kittymyrib]

Rush had an interview with Louie Gommert (R-TX) that was an eye-opener. Congressman Gommert stayed up all night and not only read the 70+ page bill, but also the references to other bills that the implementation of this one would be pursuant to. The spending cuts would not take place until 2013. The Bush tax cuts would expire next year, which is a tax hike.

There is no way that the TEA Party GOP can go for this charade that is rigged so that Obama can buy votes in ‘12 with his new credit limit and depends on a committee of politicians to cut spending in the distant future. Boehner is an incompetent for agreeing to this lousy deal.

This is one area where I listen to Ron Paul. The only one.

Today Americans see just how corrupt the republican leadership ship actually has become. They mislead voters in the same exact manner the democrat socialists mislead.

Anyone who doubted the republican leadership are in bed with the New World Order socialists should have all doubt removed.

Those who say 2012 will save us lack understanding of just where in history we are presently standing. Many nations throughout history have stood at this very same place, on the edge of tyranny. The only queation remaining is do we the people win or do we go silently in to that long cold and bitter night of enslavement?

What will future historians say about this time, our time, did we fail to keep the light of freedom burning bright.

I’m so angry and disappointed with Boehner. We need $10T in cuts over the next 4 years. Instead, Boehner promises the opposite and delivers less than one-tenth of what is actually needed.

Boner, here’s a clue: If you want to separate yourself from the Progressive Fascists on both sides of the aisle who insist on raising the debt limit while increasing taxes and government spending, agree with their proposal as long as they accept these demands effective within the next four years -
