Even fox is calling this plan “symbolic”
Yet everyone calls the senate plan “serious”

Are there enough RINOs in the House to pass the Senate plan?
If not, the Senate plan is "symbolic."

It’s got as much, or more, chance of passing the Senate as any plan out there, that raises taxes in any way, has of passing the House.

So why are those others not “symbolic” while the most right wing plan is “symbolic.”

Oh, I forgot, its obvious, this plan is more conservative than all the others, and so must be considered “symbolic”, even by conservatives, who have absorbed the media’s talking points about it. . . .

What was I thinking, this one is “symbolic” while the other plans are “adult” and “bipartisan.” Never mind that the House will not vote for tax increases. Period.

There is no Senate plan or Obama plan. The Gang of 6 crap is not even a legislative vehicle.

I am beginning to hate the MSM more than the RATS.

If we care about spending cuts, everyone had better call their senators of both parties and raise Hell.

I'm wondering if it would pass in the house too. Add the # of R's who would vote no due to taxes...and the number of D's who would vote no due to spending cuts together...and it would probably be defeated.

The Senate plan has no real cuts, but ‘cuts’ will be determined later by committees.

So even if it passes it only has “symbolic” cuts.
