Doesn’t even equal the hike..and none of it is enforceable on a future Congress.
LOL
So, they increase spending by what 25 Trillion over the next decade or two and save 1.2 Trillions !!!???
LOL
The RINO/GOP CANNOT be serious !?
Here`s the plan: Adopt the 2008 spending levels. EASY.
What will the Federal Government spend IN TOTAL in 2011?
Under the Bohner plan what will it spend in 2012?
If it’s 1$ more the republicans folded, the democrats win, and there is virtually no chance of turning things around (before the crash).
Just announced on Foxnews that Boehner doesn’t have the votes for his current proposal and are rewriting it. Keep it up Tea Partiers!!!!!!
What happened to the promise of at least $1 of cuts for every $1 of debt limit increase?
FAIL
Time to be finished with the Republicans!
This is a joke, right? $85 billion per year off a $1.6 trillion yearly deficit? Pathetic! May as well let Obama spend all he wants. It isn't gonna matter...
I will be calling my Congressman in the morning to inform him that if this bill passes the House I’ll be looking for a third party to support because the GOP has no interest in conservatives.
I thought Bonehead and Cantor said it would cut 1.7 billion over 10 years (which is chump change to begin with). Now we are learning about the lies Bonehead and Cantor have been puking on the airwaves. Thanks for the article rummychick.
EPIC FAIL
Boner you weenie.
This is simple: CUT CUT CUT... and CUT AGAIN!
(Just like we’re all doing at home)
It was a joke and a sham to begin with and it is still a joke and a sham. Politicians are too corrupt to change.
They are more interested in being in office than the health and well being of the nation. That is the fact of life.
Big whoop.
Falls far short of the 4 trillion in cuts demanded by S&P to avoid downgrade.
Nice work, Boner.
See you in the third world.
I have concluded today that the House Republicans are every bit as stupid as their Democratic counterparts.
They can’t seriously hope for anything better than the current proposal. They pass it now, the Senate and Barry0 get the blame for fallout when they turn it down.
This is their chance. Just stupid, stupid, stupid to turn it down.
Geez, stop spending and pay down the debt.
The Hill must have incorrect sources. Fox News just read the CBO’s statement and it said 1.1 or 1.2 trillion. Memory is failing me.
Has anybody told Boss Hogg (Haley Barbour) about this CBO scoring.
Has anybody told Allen West or Paul Ryan, who came out in support of this sham before the CBO scores came out? Both of them now have their asses hanging out for nothing. Adios Amigo’s.
So the CBO says most of the savings from Boehner’s plan come down in the first year to the $6B saved on discretionary spending—and the first year is pretty much all the real power this congress has to influence.
$1T equals approximately $6B.
That’s even worse than the $28B that came down to $300M in the CR.
And I don’t care what anyone says about Boehner being limited by what the Senate and Barry will agree to: he’s trying to pass this off as a trillion dollars in savings up front, over $2T in total and he’s out there crowing about how he’s guaranteed as much in cuts as he’s allowing in the increase in debt.
Complete and shameless lies. I hope he loses his leadership position before the end of the year.
