Let’s be clear here. This Congress can’t bind future Congresses or presidents to a debt reduction deal. Any talk of spending now and reducing spending later is pure hog wash. The future reduction won’t happen or future spending will be increased on new sacred cows.
The have to deal with this problem one year at a time. Write a balanced budget for THIS year!
They have to deal with this problem one year at a time. Write a balanced budget for THIS year!
Exactly!!! Future Congresses will not be bound by these lies!!
This 2 trillion, over 10 years, is the biggest pile of BS they've produced this month and they've been trucking the BS big time.
How is it that Pelosi and Reid could bind future Congresses to spending $1.5 billion this year on ObamaCare, before it kicks in? Can they only bind future Congresses to spend but not cut?
If this is so, we’d be much better off with no federal government. Belgium hasn’t had a national government for a year and a half and seems to be surviving just fine. Are we that much more inept to govern our states than Belgium?
all budgets and tax reforms, and much legislation, hase impacts beyond the term of the adminstration that passes them
remember that obamacare is loaded to kick in after the 2012 elections
