” The $1.1 trillion in cuts (actually reduced increases in spending, given DC-speak) will be over the next 5-10 years. The Debt Increase would be for RIGHT NOW.”
That proposal out to get you 3-5 years at Levenworth!!

It sounds like another bi-partisan POS attempt but I’ll hold my tongue until we get to see it. I think Soetoro will sign anything they put in front of him at this point or he will end up with the public finger pointing at him. His worst nightmare.

With revenue bills originating in the house in letter, Boehner must lead the cause in spirit as well. He sent the Ryan bill, Reed shrugged it off. He sent the CCB to the Senate, and Reed shrugged it off. Boehner, Lead! damn you.

It's not a "Super Congress" as the HuffPost puts it.
It's a committee.
The Congress still has to vote the results in an up or down vote. And HuffPost doesn't like that because the House will vote the right way.

"
Boehner presents his plan at 2PM
Reid presents his at 2:30PM"
Let us hope that the result is NO DEAL!

At least, it only goes to April 2012. That’s the good news.

What power does this “committee of 12” have over our elected leaders?
It’s just more bs. Six will fight for deeper unconstitutional socialism and six will fight for slower unconstitutional socialism. And they hope to impose the decisions made by this “bi-partisan” socialist committee on the Tea Party representatives.
To: brownsfan
If these guys can bring about a resolution without input from Obama, its a win for a lot of reasons.Two words: Pyrrhic victory.

And if the six Democrats dont agree with the six Republicans and the President vetos anything they come up with? The President doesn't veto what they come up with. He would have to veto a bill which was put through Congress on the results of the committee's work.
And if the President does veto anything, he has to deal with the debt ceiling expiring again. I like it. Bambi doesn't want the headache of dealing with the debt limit again...this plan gives him the headache.
To: kristinn
A glaring absence of detail, aside from a boost in the debt ceiling.
Sounds like a load of cr@p to me.

Drudge is reporting that Boehner wants $1 trillion in cuts. Is that $1 trillion in cuts for the current fiscal year?

If these guys can bring about a resolution without input from Obama, its a win for a lot of reasons. I agree. Anything that marginalizes 0bama is an improvement. He's proven to be of no value added to the process, so he may as well STFU until the Congress hands him an offer he can't refuse. 0bama is tanking in the polls and that reality is starting bite where it should.
Even the WaPo admits the GOP is winning this battle. Now the question is whether that will continue.
Thank God for the TEA Party presence in the House. They are pushing Boehner to lead forcefully.. something to which he's not accustomed. Hopefully the taste of a hard-earned, but CLEAR win against 0bama will give Boehner and the GOP the spinal steel to move forward on other matters once this is resolved.

To: brownsfan
I agree 100%. I've been more optimistic than many freepers for the past couple of weeks. I think Boehnner, Cantor, and McConnell are in closer touch behind the scenes than they let on. Obama is freaking out. Good news ahead.
