The Hill is a liberal rag that wants to split the GOP. If you read the entire article it says
“The CBO has also determined that taking that earlier deal into account, the spending levels in the Boehner plan is a $1.1 trillion cut in the deficit. “
Boehner said on Sean Hannity that this would just cover the first $1 Trillion in debt hike this year. They would have to do this again next year.
I am sick and tired of the so called conservatives on FR who quote crap like AP, Politico and The Hill to bash GOPers.
You are missing the point. It depends on the baseline. EVEN BOEHNER ADMITS his plan doesn’t meet the promise and is rewriting it.
It seems the lapping up of left-wing propoganda is alive and well on FR these days.
