“it would have been better if they could have privately spoken with Boehner instead of coming out publicly against it”
Shouldn’t Boehner have spoke with the conservatives first before publicly offering a plan that cuts spending 6B (cuts beyond FY12 will never happen) and raises the debt limit 1000B?
“some legit issues with this proposal”
I’d say there are major, major, issues with the proposal.
You seem to think a cut of 0.17% isn’t all that big...
< / sarcasm >
The truth is that NOBODY in DC is serious about cutting anything!
