Cuts That Exceed The Debt Hike. The framework would cut and cap discretionary spending immediately, saving $1.2 trillion over 10 years (subject to CBO confirmation), and raise the debt ceiling by less - up to $1 trillion.

The only way this is raising the debt limit "less" than the amount of spending cuts would be if the debt limit increase was for 10 years just like the spending cuts. But the debt limit increase is for less than one year.

Do they really think we are that stupid? Oh yeah, they think we all have the fortitude of Crybaby Boehner.

He's planning on spending money on a bunch of squatters in the middle east right now as we type. Why not cut programs like these? They have nothing to do with us.

No. The Democrats will only cut those things that help the U.S. and it's people, and will demand an increase of funding on those things that destroy us.
