This is a win for our side if we get cuts and no tax increases.

CUTS???? WHAT CUTS??? A non increase is most certainly NOT a cut!

I'm thinking a lot of you folks are delusional. There's nothing for us in this. $2.8 trillion? Figure it's actually 1.5 knowing their pencil whipping. And by the time CBO does their estimate, probably down to under a trillion. NOBODY here remembers the last deal? The $82 billion one that turned out to be $30 billion that had already been flagged for cutting? Well this is the same kind of deal.

If this ensures that there won't be another debt ceiling debate before the election, then Obama won. Period.

You guys are actually cheering because the military is going to get cut? You're nuts.

There's nothing good in this. It's all a pack of lies. They overspend by almost 2.5 trillion every YEAR that's $25 trillion over ten years and you guys are cheering 2.5 trillion that's probably not there and is guaranteed to disappear after the election.

Flame away.

They've agreed to partially defund the Spanish-American war effort.

i agree with you.
please check the links in posts 77 and 117.

people have been tricked by the Dems making the current budget the new baseline.

Obama raised spending by 40 percent. then people are happen if they get a 5 percent cut ?!?

Obama raised the debt by more in 2 years, than Clinton or Bush did in 8. and we GAVE him another 2.8 TRILLION ?!?
we raised the National Debt by another 9+ TRILLION,
in the next 10 years.
...but we should be happy because of no tax increase?!?

This IS an absolute disaster but one that pretty obvious in coming. Boehner has been open that he was willing to cut a deal that most of his caucus would oppose and that is probably what we have. The cuts are tiny reductions in the rate at which government spending grows. Obama gets trillions more to play with. The leverage the Republicans had over Obama with the debt ceiling issue will be gone at least for the next couple of years. The BBA vote was going to happen anyway. Boehner can call a vote on that at any time and Senate Republicans were going to tack it onto legislation in that chamber anyway. The commission recommendations will be like every other deficit commission in history — utter nonsense. The automatic cuts sound nice, but even if there are no gimmicks the amount of cuts is a drop in the bucket. This will pass, we'll lose our AAA bond rating and everyone will hate both parties. Sounds like my kids just got rooked by a bunch of RINOs and emperor Barack the first.
