NOW WATCH OUT FOR THIS:

[Psalm 73]

He's got a pen. And a phone.

(And a set of golf clubs for when things really go wrong).

[4rcane]

year 1: gop cut 5 trillion over 10 years

year 2: gop caved on budget deal with obama and reneged on last years deal because of possible government shut down

year 3: gop cut 5 trillion over 10 years and make a big deal out of it

[George from New England]

What a joke using a ten year number. We all know this is a reduction of the increase and really means more $$$.

[Steamburg]

Now we get a pi$$ing match over a rounding error?

[Opinionated Blowhard]

We’re going to get a $50 trillion spending cut over 30 years because by Year 20, the unsustainable government spending Ponzi scheme is going to collapse and there will be no more government spending as we know it. Both parties are disgusting.

[Sgt_Schultze]

There are no 10 year budgets. A promise for future spending reductions is a promise for more can-kicking. Today's Congress cannot bind the actions or priorities of any future Congress. If this does not CUT spending, spending will not be cut.

[Vince Ferrer]

The old increase spending this year but promise to decrease spending ten years down the road trick.

[Rodamala]

And when he vetos the budget bill... SHUT THE WHOLE G-D THING DOWN.

BOOT THE VETS FROM THEIR MEMORIALS... SET FIRE TO THE NATIONAL PARKS... SHUT DOWN THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS.

Of course it will all be Ted Cruz’s fault.

[bgill]

That’s a start. Now, if they’d take away the muzzy in chief’s pen and checkbook.

[Pollster1]

Sadly, this is not even a cut in spending. It is a cut in the scheduled rate of growth for spending. I would cut actual spending by $1T a year or more if I controlled the budget, although I would ease the transition by cutting perhaps $400B the first year, $300B the second year, $200B the third year, and $100B the fourth year. Then I’d look at what was left and try to find more cuts in FedGov.

[entropy12]

Ted Cruz and Rand Paul both opposed the final budget resolution in the Senate because it did not cut enough spending over the next ten years

“National defense is the number one priority of the federal government,” Paul said on the floor. “My amendment increases defense spending but pays for it with spending cuts. It is irresponsible and dangerous to continue to put America further into debt, even for something we need.”

Cruz & Paul are fiscal conservatives. Rubio not so.

[Harpotoo]

How can they cut anything with Base Line Budgeting in play?

[Defiant]

It's the Bitch and Boner two-step.

Obama vetoes, says what he will sign, and he will get it from them, probably with Democrat votes being necessary. Can't have the Leviathan shut down, ya know.

[i_robot73]

Sounds like another Paul budget!

Aren’t we already @ $1.5T+/yr deficit? So, over the next 10 yrs, presuming the same spending, I’m supposed to jump for joy that we’ll *only have* $1T+/yr deficits?

Say, don’t we have a Constitution that LIMITS the power and authority of D.C.? Isn’t ONE of those Amendments, I THINK it’s the 13th, that made slavery illegal.

Can anyone tell me what it’s called when one has to work for the benefit of another??

So, exactly how am I NOT an economic slave? Or the newborn with a $50K+ bill attached to their umbilical cord?

[GeronL]

The bill does not cut spending, just spends less than Democrats want over 10 years.

Besides, these 10-year plans are ALWAYS rubbish anyway

[sarge83]

You are correct, veto and then wait for the CR to expire and then dictate terms of the Republican surrender——again on the budget and spending.

[monkeyshine]

If they hold the line they can force capitulation, instead of capitulating as they usually do. Of course they will get heaps of criticism from the media and the Democrats, but if Obama doesn’t sign it (and if the Democrats in Congress decide to spite some in favor of none) they will be the ones held to the charge of “do nothing”, “The No Party” and “Shutting Down the Government” etc. Lets see how united they really are, and whether they can rise to some low level of principle.

[MSF BU]

I have not delved into the details. Have they ended up screwing active duty servicemen or military retirees? That seems to be the pattern lately.

[Popman]

Still, it’s the first time in six years that Congress has done its job at all, let alone on time. The return to regular order may end up being the best argument Republicans make for continued control of Congressional leadership for the 2016 election.

Well, well, well..

An actual step forward...

See libtards the world didn't end...
