It’s all crap.

Talk about getting $2 Trillion of spending cuts gets waved in front of the Freedom Caucus as if it was a slice of chocolate cake.

IT’S OVER 10 YEARS, people, and the first 4 years have nearly nothing.

And you want the really bad news? If it was divided evenly to $200 billion per year over 10 years, well, the current spending is about 6.5Trillion. Inflation is at least and probably more than 2%/yr. That 6.5T adds 130 billion just for inflation adjustment. So the ballyhooed $200B in first year cuts is only $70B. And that gets eaten by 3.3% interest on the national debt.

THERE IS NO CUT HERE. It’s all bullshit. There is no solution.

Oh and btw, the Senate won’t pass this. Even with 3 extra seats.
