West was like a lot of us who wrongly assumed that Boehner understood the expectations and was delivering. Only as the content of the sausage been revealed do we now know that the deal is dirty.
West came out for the plan last night after they were briefed.
He knew.
I’m hearing that after the CBO scoring, the vote on the plan has been delayed until Thursday (at least).
I’ll say this much - at least the House put forth a PLAN that can be objectively scored...and it doesn’t pass muster. Give them a chance to fix it, in other words, pull it and demand the Senate vote on CC&B. Let the CBO score CC&B, let’s see the numbers.
The CBO can’t score a speech and let’s see them score the Reid plan. Let’s see the numbers on the alternatives.
Why can’t every agancy, cabinet office, department, etc. cut 1% from their annual budgets? 1 freaking percent.
Put it on paper and let’s see what it adds up to.
