I believe that makes a total of 88.5 billion in cuts in the 2011 budget.
Pretty fair. worth at least a “C” grade.
And I think we’re positioned pretty well for the debt limit battle and the 2012 budget battle too. As you said strategery is important.

They said 100 billion, they got it to 88 billion. Not the worst showing. Some very poor showing on the riders, but hey, maybe those were throwaways to begin with....
Overall, not too far from the promise.
Many Freepers won't be happy, absolutely, but strategy IS important, and picking battles DOES win wars, and The Perfect should NEVER be the enemy of Progress.

What ever gets you through the night. I have no reason to buy it, but then I haven't slept well since the 80's.

I wondered about the total cuts for 2011. Thanks for keeping count. Given the slovenly filthy mess the pelosi 'rats left the country to sort out, I guess that is a decent result for the last half year.
National Debt increase is the next leverage point, then the Big Game, Budget for 2012.
Lord have mercy on us.

The reports I have read said there are about $38.5 billion in cuts. Whoopee.

I have yet to see a news report that says we got $88 billion in budget cuts.

If they caved over the political heat of 100 billion, they will melt and evaporate in a battle of 14,000 billion.

The spenders whoomped us. The Republicans caved in. The Tea Party is betrayed.
