How in the world can they only find $6B in cuts? That’s pretty much a rounding error.
These people aren’t serious, it’s all politics and that’s why there will be a downgrade.
Bingo. It’s really just as simple as you portrayed it. The whole disgusting charade of budget negotiations is based on the premise that there enough brain dead voters to carry the day (as in maintain status quo) for the ruling elite.

pols should cut trillions now out of the decade’s projected spending but they would rather play more smoke-n-mirrors
