“So this deficit comm can pass tax leg all by itself,without the House
I don’t think so”
- “And if the Congress rejects the Commission’s demands for new tax revenue, there will be a trigger that cuts both medicare funding and defense funding.
Except, the defense funding cuts will be much more massive than the medicare cuts. And the GOP, in addition to seeing defense cut, would be hacking off seniors right before an election.”
No way. I think ALL SPENDING COMES FROM THE HOUSE,and that includes cutting previously authorized spending.
