I think what you outlined describes a tactical victory for Boehner/GOP.
When the got going ALL the Libs wanted was to raise the debt ceiling AND increase Taxes.
Given there’s a plan with NO ADDED Taxes, this has to be a win.
Obama has to look like a clown for singing off on these cuts, especially given that he was the one responsible for the increases to begin with.
Its only a good start, for me.
But its a hell of allot better than the outcome Bammy/Harry/Pelosi originally wanted.
Uhmmm...the $2.8 TRILLION will have to be repaid by the taxpayers, with interest. Mostly taxpayers who haven't been born, or even conceived yet. Do you get it? This is a $2.8 TRILLION dollar tax increase ON THEM.
The crowning stated purpose of the Constitution of the United States is "to secure the Blessings of Liberty to Posterity."
Every single one of these congresscreatures swore before God to do that.
Every one of them is in violation of that oath.
The Democrats and the Republicans are robbing our posterity of their God-given, unalienable right to government by consent.
Every one of them needs to be fired by We the People.
Well in that case, 'Yay, GOP!" The country is still screwed, but hey, at least the Pubbies won one.
