I am very concerned that very few people are talking about the utter BULLSH1T that the spending cuts will be spread out over 10 years. You and I both know that has very little chance of happening. Way to much water gonna go under the bridge during that time.
IMHO, Boehner, et al should concentrate on FY2012 cuts and be vicious about it. Neither he nor anyone else has ANY control over what happens after FY2012.
Time after time Washington has put out smoke and mirrors BS like this. Remember the $300m+ in cuts that ended up being just $30mil+ after the smoke cleared? What a joke! I say it’s time to stop with the happy talk and get serious about cutting. Fire up the chainsaw!

Maybe, we could shrink the Federal Government, and pass the essential work back to the States
What is this so called Reid Bill? I have not heard a peep about it. How much does he cut? If it is 4 trillion I say let’s go for it. Bohner’s only has 869 billion.
Coming from a mob-connected criminal that sounds like a threat.
“”saying the president’s advisers “would recommend that he veto this bill””
Does the man not make any of his own decisions? We need to know just who these advisers are. Carney is referred to as an “adviser” most of the time instead of a press secretary.
Looking at the CBO report O-Bummer and Pinky screwed up.
The actual cuts in the latest bill were insignificant, fast-tracking the latest house bill would have mostly given the D’s what they claim to want.
When the details came out afterward the R’s would have looked stupid, again.
The D’s are so locked into “NO!” that they cut themselves off at the knees!
Now Bohner and the house have time to rework their bill.
