No short term deal is needed.

This "grand bargain" language looks like an attempt to equate balancing the budget with bringing the North and the South together after the Civil War.

All for the greater honor and glory of obama.

How about a 1 to 3 month deal with immediate cuts?

If the repubs offer him a short-term deal, make it with as harsh a set of terms possible.

The “Gang of Six” “plan” is a $3 Trillion (largest in history) tax grab against the middle class.

Attacking our mortgage interest deduction, our 401k/IRA contributions, and our employer’s health insurance contributions.

An all-out attack on the middle class.

Passing this will mean the Death of the Republican Party.

The GOP needs to understand that if they go with a TEFRA style plan they’re finished. The Democrats will NEVER keep a promise to cut spending. EVER. It’s been tried before. It won’t work. There is no circumstance under which a Democrat can be trusted.

ok well what happens when the short term deal runs out and by then the gang of 6 IS ready to put forth their proposal?

Then we go thru this again - and have to avoid a cave again - and risk falling further again...

I have no idea, but he insisted on no short-term solution and threatened to do the cutting of SS on 8/3. Now, he changed his tune.

IMO, I’d rather the house sign on to the debt increase with some cuts than any of the big deals being discussed. Assuming CCB isn’t happening with this Senate (which is my assumption all along), I’d rather take some cuts, do the debt increase and kick off the 2012 campaign than one of these ultra-damaging other bills. The Dems simply refuse to cut, so we need to remove more of them and get it done later.
