Even if the “cuts” were real and legit, which we all know they are not, it comes out to $240 billion a year. BFD.

It’s a pack of lies that wouldn’t be worth anything even if they were 100% true.

The Republicans are clinically mentally ill if they believe that they are doing anything, while the Democrats are lying, despotic turds. The whole bunch of them are so deluded that they actually think they can legislate the laws of physics (the climate) and human nature (every thing else).

The can cannot be kicked much further down the road. These scum are destroying the lives of our children and grandchildren. And will merrily walk away after they do it.

Absolutely right. Every analysis I've read says that when interest rates return to the mean of the past couple decades and when GDP growth comes in at 2% instead of the budgeted-for 4%, the deficit will grow by staggering amounts. To be able to service the debt under a realistic interest rate / growth scenario, federal government spending MUST be cut by half. That means cutting the spending about $1,700 billion every year. The fallacious $240 B / year is only 1/7 of that target. We are thoroughly hosed.
