U don’t get it. It doesn’t matter if it’s 850 billion or 2 Zillion. It is NOT binding for a future congress. It’s a sham, just like the CR Deal. Bonehead said he had the votes to pass it. NOT!

Look at the scope of the problem. Entitlements are close to 60% of the budget, defense is 19%, and interest on the debt is 9%. The Rats want to push the Pubs into a vote that cuts entitlements and obama then veto's it. They need the issue to stay in power. Our Speaker is actually trying to come up with a solution that reforms entitlements with the Rats signing on to it.

This is why I'm eager to move on toward the Ryan plan which shines a spotlight specifically on entitlements.

The Ryan plan will include more cuts for '12 than are in the current debt debate.

I think that debate is going to push more Americans toward agreeing on deeper cuts which is why Obama is putting it off and trying to extend this debt crisis for as long as he can.
