I wash my hands of them.
ugh.
This is substantial improvement.
Remember, this is only tranche 1. This not not FY2012. This is to extend at most to Q2 FY2012, about February. Additional cuts kick in then, or the debt ceiling is re-imposed.
This is a surprising increase in FY2012 cuts. It will without question reduce FY2012 GDP and increase unemployment, but that’s the price of getting real cuts.
Now the buzz word required to fight the battle in the polls is how Boehner has COMPROMISED with Democrats, even as this plan cuts MORE than the original.
NEVER EVER FORGET. This battle is going to be won at the polls. Just as the 1990s government shutdown was won by Clinton because Gingrich did not fight the battle in front of the camera, the way Boehner is doing.
So the time has now come to talk about how gentle and gradual these cuts are and how they are THE ONLY REAL COMPROMISE.
“I wash my hands of them.”
Me too. Boehner has mismanaged this whole thing from the get go. By pushing this alternative, he undercut the more viable CCB. Then after the CBO revealed the shortcomings of his own plan, he lashes out at the Tea Party. I’m done with him and McConnel.
If this ain't a WTF moment, I don't know what is.
Give me a trillion dollars today for which I will gladly return in ten years. Maybe.
I’ve always said the GOP would sell us down the river.
