John Boehner calls Rush. Rush’ report of conversation:
FIRST ROUND:
1.1 trillion in cuts (no denfense cuts)
1 trillion in debt increase
no tax increases
Commission of 6 members of each chamber to recommend the cuts
SECOND ROUND would require a vote on the balanced budget amendment
Would cuts be now or later? (the panel will decide that).
Rush: So we don’t know what the cuts are or when they will occur.
This plan takes us to next April.
NO WAY...
This is a SELLOUT, kick-the-can-down-the-road deal.
We have these idiots on the ropes, it’s time to drive it home, NOT fold!
