Sure, they will cut that much from the projected increase in 2030.

[Hojczyk]

Someone on John Batchelor last night a lot of the cuts are smoke and mirrors...creative accounting...

[TexasNative2000]

The talking points are out:

Senate Democrats stepped in and offered a meaningful plan that inspired "hope". (It just happens to be a plan very similar to that which Boehner was proposing, but no way the GOP gets the credit for this).

The devil is always in the details.

And since we’re considering Harry Reid, the devil IS involved.

[Bitsy]

If Reid introduces it - I don’t trust it. That little beady eyed snake is nothing but a communist and only wants more taxes and less accountability like most of the liberal democrats.

[SanFranDan]

Do we have to pass the Reid turd in order to see what’s in it?

[Oldeconomybuyer]

If it’s from Dingy it’s BS. Cuts in fiscal year 2020 or 2021? Just defund Obamacare and be done with it.

If Schumer the tumor is for the pan, no doubt it stinks.

Just say no.

[dartuser]

When a Democrat says he is going to cut spending ... he is lying.

Does it cut off funds for Cowboy Poetry?

Reid’s as-yet-to-be-unveiled plan

Certainly nothing to get excited about.....yet.

[listenhillary]

No smart azz remark toward the TEA party? It must have killed Schumer to say this.

“Reid’s as-yet-to-be-unveiled plan, Schumer said, has the potential to be sufficiently conciliatory to House Speaker John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) caucus that an agreement can be reached. “Hopefully it’s the kind of thing that Speaker Boehner can rally his tea party troops toward,” he said.”

The devil is always in the details.

Absolutely!

[C210N]

“I think we’ve got 48 hours within which to do something very, very meaningful,”

Yes, this is EXACTLY what was predicted weeks and months ago - politics by backroom dealing, nothing in the public until the last minute (or, 48 hours... the min for congress anyways), and then under the pretense of 5-minutes-to-midnight pressure, lets pass it. It may have worked for zer0care, we MUST PUT THE Brakes down, and not let it happen again. No deal.

” Sure, they will cut that much from the projected increase in 2030.”

In the year 2525....

[alloysteel]

Any such oral agreement from Harry Reid is not worth the paper it is printed on.

[Paladin2]

The timing has to be coincidental.

No increase in FY2012 debt w/o plenty-o-cuts in FY2012.

[airborne]

Like most liberal written stories, Reid's claims in the headlines won't match the details in the actual bill.

I predict bovine excrement!
