No.
Cuts to be determined in the future are NO BUDGET CUTS, period.
The debt ceiling is raised, which means the Democrats win!
Once again, the Republicans have snatched victory from the jaws of defeat!
OOPS!
“Once again, the Republicans have snatched victory from the jaws of defeat!” This should read:
Once again, the Republicans have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory!

No, these talks have been about the debt ceiling being raised all along.
But the GOP conditions were that an equal number of cuts had to be included with no tax hikes.
That has been the Boehner/Cantor position all along. Looks like they got what they wanted.
Debt ceiling raise was always in the discussion. That's what Boehner-Cantor have been discussing all along.
Cuts are included with NO tax hikes. That's a win.
