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.
