Sorry, we got nothing. Chump change in spending cuts. Total failure in negotiating skills. They didn’t evaluate their hand, didn’t start with a goal that would achieve anything, showed their hand and then caved out of fear they would be blamed for shutting the government. They also totally ignored that we had won a great victory in WI this week against everything the unions could throw against us and we had the support of the public.
38 billion in cuts in a year with a 1 and a half trillion dollar deficit is nothing. Social and fiscal conservatives have been betrayed and will not forget. Huckabee and Bachmann have shown themselves as no friends of TEA Party conservatives.
“Huckabee and Bachmann have shown themselves as no friends of TEA Party conservatives.”
Uh, Bachmann was interviewed on Bret afterward and was not only critical of the “deal”, but she said it was not keeping promises to the people, and she would be voting NO next week.
