"The White House intends to get two-thirds of the $1.1 trillion in savings from spending cuts and one-third from tax revenues, including by closing several tax loopholes, according to sources familiar with the budget."

“Reducing the deficit” is lib-speak for increasing the size of government while raising taxes.

The goal is reducing the size of government, not reducing the deficit. Let’s hope the GOP in congress don’t lose site if this.

It's no longer “tax and spend “.

It's now “borrow, piss away and confiscate”.

If I spoke my mind I would be arrested.

and one-third from tax revenues

Let's do the arithmetic:

$1,100,000,000,000 x .333 = $363,000,000,000.

Wheeeeee... Ubanga wants a $363 billion tax hike!

[JohnBrowdie]

The “closing tax loopholes” fairy tale again. Liberals have been shamelessly peddling that lie for decades.

Why do I suspect that there “Cut the deficit in half” language is dependent on some super rosey pie-in-the-sky predictions about how revenue is going to magically double in the next two years.
