Brett Baier on Fox News, interview with Gene Sperling

General framework of debt deal
Increase debt ceiling by 2.4 trillion
spending cuts of 1 trillion
Joint committee with recommendations for additional cuts before Thanskgiving

Okay I’m getting the idea that this Joint Committee will be the means to get defense cuts and /or tax increases in the near future.

Here’s my understanding what’s up for debate now.

Debt ceiling raised till PAST 2012 (a BIG victory for Obamer as this is what he wanted most. It’s always about him and not the country.)

Cuts only, a trillion first six months. 1.8 cuts rest of 2012. How to enforce? Across the board cut recommended by some kind of super-committee. If not coming to conclusion than an across-the-board cut automatic to include ALL parts of the gubmint, Medicare, defense.

Do I have the gist?

one in six of every dollar in the Illinois budget is Federal money.

The long arm of Chicago politics. Indeed, disgusting.

Anything the Super-bipartisan Congress committee does will be overcome by the election of 2012.

In fact, think of it!

All the posturing and preening NOW means nothing, if a NEW Senate is in the Capitol and a NEW President is in the White House.

2010 was a start. 2012 will either finish that start or it will be our end. I am convinced of this.

The other thing I am convinced of is that the economy is NOT going to get better. These means Obama will lose, or the voters in this country deserves what they get.

Correct. What can happen is a downgrade. Someting the left is largely ignoring since they don't want actual facts out in the open.

Actual facts are that the rating agencies are looking for 400 billion in cuts per year and if they don't get it my guess is we will become AA soon.

especially if gov't spending has been the only thing keeping the economy afloat.

Goes back to Keynesian theory, a spending stimulus may get the economy moving in a depression, to which Democrats are applying to a recession, they can't even get their own economic theory right.

You couldn’t be more right. And, the fact that the dems have been lying about what the economy has really been doing since 2007 tells the story.

***spending cuts of 1 trillion***

*****which are NOT cuts, everybody. They are the canceling of the painting of the moon, as Paul Ryan stated on the House floor.

Spending is scheduled to keep going UP!

WE must talk to all of our friends about the PENNY per year proposal.

Dittos Rodguy for the one cent solution or "penny plan" as it's sometimes called. It's the best, simplest, easy to understand, and draws attention the the devil; baseline budgeting.

Most of America will be shocked to finally learn and understand that a cut is not a cut, but only a reduction in increases.

Rush will probably say tomorrow we should have stood our ground since these guys don't have to guts to put a budget,debt ceiling or anything in print in black and white on paper and we will get the blame for anything that goes wrong anyway so why not stand tall.

Whoops, missed this!

We have Rod, we have!!! We've stood our ground. We own the Balanced Budget Ammendment that most people want. Sure it won't pass, but we tried. The dems HAVE TO BE the opposers of that.

People didn't want Obama care, the dems gave it to us anyway.

People want a Balanced Budget, even if it means we have to put that in the US Constitution. The dems oppose it.

See the pattern, anyone?

Fox Sunday - Bret reads a quote where obama says the country (economy) is on a good trajectory, then points out all the weak economic numbers.

Interview with Kevin McCarthy, R-CA, the debate is moving in the wrong direction. Looks like the framework could be there.

Bret asks McCarthy is Boehner can retain his leadership after these debates. McCarthy says Boehner has been a leader throughout this process while obama has been on the sidelines, complaining.
