Reducing spending by 5% annually is no solution nor is it any guarantee since future Congresses will not be bound by it

Again...it's at least the BEGINNING of a solution. It puts these deals on a different track than they've been on in decades...we're talking about CUTTING spending rather than RAISING.

It's obvious that no deal guarantees anything the next Congress might do. But to get such a deal with a Dem Senate AND White House is a good accomplishment IMO. And if we get gains in next years elections we go further.

Trust but verify. I want to see what those so-called cuts are. I don’t consider this even a beginning until we have more information. Both parties have led us into the current predicament. I don’t trust any of them.
