What do you think of the GOP budget plan?

Bad idea. The proposed cuts are too severe and the recession's not over.

Good plan. We need to cut spending and the deficit now, not later.

Not sure. I'd like to see some compromise, with much of the GOP plan in the new budget.

Idiot FOX. It’s no wonder I don’t watch it anymore.

How about “I can’t believe how quickly the GOP caved” answer?

I agree it does not go far enough. We need to cut whole agencies, eliminate forever the forieng aid to non allies ( and I mean actual allies, not those who pretend) Slash salaries at the top, and phase out all those safty-net lies!

The GOP is flopping big time. I helped em because I wanted to be rid of big Agencies too. But Noooo! They go after MediCare. Brilliant. And even before they get rid of Obamacare.
The Rats can be rolled on SS because it is no longer a cash cow for them to rob. It is paying out more than it takes in.

We're $13 Trillion in debt... we spent $3.3 Trillion last year, and only took in $2.1 Trillion...

To get back to even, we'd have to keep taking in $2.1 Trillion, and spending "only" $1.1 Trillion (imagine the apoplexy of the MSM if this was the actual plan), and do that for FOURTEEN years.

THAT'S how bad the debt situation is right now.

Is that including compounding interest?

Interesting. I voted other and it wouldn't let me leave a comment. In a trillion dollar plus deficit what's a few billion in cuts. The GOP needs to show a little testicular fortitude and take a minimum $200 billion bite out of the deficit. Balance the damn budget, kill off Obamacare, and get people back to work. The economy will then take care of itself.

The premis of the poll is that the GOP plan represents real cuts. It dors not in as much as it does not come close to solving the problem. Im surprised Fox would show this kind of bias in a poll. I expect to get it straight from Fox. The Dem plan does nothing and the GOP plan does next to nothing. Fox has a responsibility to be accurate.
