Some posters here who have been defending Bonehead still refuse to see the sham, even after the CBO has scored Boneheads Deal. A lot of us have been warning that this too would be a sham bill. And it is.
Looks like Allen West and Paul Ryan should have held their support until the CBO numbers came out. They look like fools now.
850 Billion over 10 years? And we all know these are phantom cuts.
I think Boehner just HAD to know this wouldn’t fly. Hell, 6 billion? It seems obvious he did it on purpose.
So I’m left wondering what may be going on.
Boehner had done well in this negotiation until, it seems, now.
We shall see.
Just back up for one second and look at the forest and not just one tree.
You're right we need to cut everything we can, but about 60% is entitlements, 19% is defense and 9% is interest on the debt. Out of the remaining 14% how do you balance the budget?
