So, when all is said and done, what do these cuts actually amount to in real spending cuts (and deficit reduction).

Not much, I'm guessing, when the full accounting of this "deal" is done.

We want him to talk about how he will reduce spending. He wants to talk about raising revenues. What an idiot!

Only libs (and, apparently now, Rinos) call a reduction in the rate of increase a cut.

This is part of the nonsense that the Tea Party seeks to eliminate.

Rand Paul says we are spending more in 2011 than we did in 2010. Tell me again how freaking genius the GOP leadership was for getting us these great “cuts”?

RAT bastard demoRATs & cowardly Rino repukes are bankrupting & destroying our country. Looks like Boehner & the Repub elitists are content to cave into the marxist-socialist-commie-pig-in-chief 0dumbo. I guess tomorrow I will place another scathing angry call into Boehner’s Washington DC office. Too bad the message never gets through Boehner’s staff or his thick Rino/Cino head.

CBO: Budget deal cuts this fiscal year’s deficit by just $353 million, not $38 billion touted

This isn't just exaggeration. It's a big slap in the face to the people who put these Republicans in office. And I hold the gutless Republican leadership responsible for this sham.

Obama showed his “con man” side. He has no intention to stop spending no matter what. He intends to increase taxes as much as he can within the law because congress will not increase the tax rate itself.
