I can understand the frustration as well. But like you, I see this as a solid victory, but the war is still being fought.
And again, we just secured over 38 billion in spending cuts that include moves to defund Obamacare and Planned Parenthood.
Add that to the 10 billion in cuts the GOP already obtained earlier this year, that means since this new congress took office in Jan, we have cut close to 50 billion in spending, and these are cuts that will have multi-year impact.
I call that solid results and very pleased so far.
There were no "spending cuts". They agreed to a record ~$3.6 trillion budget and a record ~$1.5 trillion budget deficit for 2011, all increases over the 2010 budget.
That's called an increase in the budget, and not a decrease.
They did agree to $38 billion less than what Obama originally proposed, but since when do we start calling that a spending cut?
