Removing a PLANNED INCREASE is NOT a cut reset ALL spending to 2008 levels and go DOWN from there. a 10% across the board decrease would be a nice start.
The bill initially calls for 2008 levels alomost across the board. Only Defense and Homeland Security spending were spared. The Obamacare cut is separate from this calculation.
Later, after a period of time, the baseline calls for 2006 levels.
This is one helluva start.
The Dummies will continue to implement the thousands of regs unless they have NO MONEY.
Therefore the CUT.
