WASHINGTON (AP) -- Racing the clock to avoid a government default, President Barack Obama and Republican congressional leaders reached historic agreement Sunday night on a compromise to permit vital U.S. borrowing by the Treasury in exchange for more than $2 trillion in long-term spending cuts.

Not so fast. I want tehe tea party freshemen in the house to
read tghis peice of offel before anyone toutes a deal.
There is NO DEAL until it passes the House.Obama is an idiot. Boehner has proven he is not much better.We now know where our conservative loyalties should lie.
Rush warned and predicted the Republicans would be sucked in and the entire charade would become the “Obama” deal.
msnbc-$1 trillion
cnn-$3 trillion
And cnn saying military could not be paid on Aug 15 if this deal isn’t approved.
So now boner has to get in bed with nancy. I’ll be she’ll make him cry.
This is suicide - only the slow painful version.
Obama didn’t do squat. He’s trying to save face.
The big lie in this whole drama has been the spectre of “government default.”
Zero himself told the big money banks that there was no chance of a default.
As usual, the Pubs lost control of the narrative—Hell, their “leaders” kept invoking the term to bludgeon their own caucus into line.
Anybody who votes for these cuts BEFORE welfare benefits are cut will be targeted.
Government spending will continue unabated, out of control.
Since government spending is considered to be part of the GDP, the latest spending spree will serve to pump up the already phony GDP numbers, to keep the so-called “recovery” alive until the next election.
FUBO, and every one of your posse of Rats’n’RINOs.
This is hilarious! Obama throws Dingy Harry under the bus to salvage some sort of relevance.
I shudder to think what any of this would look like if we hadn’t busted our asses during the 2010 elections.
Saddle up! We got work to do.
It won’t pass in the house when they vote on it tomorrow. This is AP...
Where’s the other $2 Trillion? And what’s on the front end????
Speaker Cave-In, “we got 98% of what we wanted.” Wrong, Boner, we got shafted by the republicans again.
This is line by line B.S.
What are the details? Long term cuts means, nothing.
Ok, great. Gives us more time to prep, purchase food, ammo, guns, etc.
to permit vital U.S. borrowing by the Treasury in exchange for more than $2 trillion in long-term spending cuts.
Borrowing generally implies an intention for paying it back someday.
If I’m hearing him right, Huckabee is saying that pubs got 98% of what they wanted!?!?! He thinks this is the balanced budget to be signed.
Me? I say it has not even been voted through yet..Bama is counting his chickens before they are hatched. I’d love to see him get embarrassed for announcing something he says is done, but in reality..it hasn’t even been passed yet.
We’re going to get downgraded anyway..why sign this puke bill on top of it?
Is “RINO” a legitimate term anymore? Seems like they outnumber conservatives in Congress time and time again, even when we try to correct this via the Primary process.
I don’t even know if a third party would work. If it failed, all conservative representation could be lost. If it succeeded, you’d have *RINOS* from the GOP jumping ship to cash in on the success.
We’re screwed. Until we get people we can trust in leadership positions, we’re just flat out screwed.
We need to drive the K street puppets Bonehead and Mitch from office ! >
