Quite a few are choking the revenue side by going Galt.

If the GOP retakes all three branches of Government, no REAL cuts will occur.
No government agencies will be ended.
We are as gullable as the GOP leaders we mock for believing the Democrats.
We had control of the Government and spending INCREASED.

this is a plausible scenario under which the WasPo would write such a glowing article claiming GOP “victory”
they have an agenda, praising a GOP victory is not on that agenda

If the WaPo calls it a deal, we got screwed.

“They are letting the debt lmit be raised passed the election... victory Obama”
This really was the driving issue, not just for Obama, but for Democrats running for office. It’s the main thing they really wanted. That’s why they wouldn’t pass a budget; the side effects were politically toxic for them.
To: what's up
Obama got another 2 trillion dollars to spend, how is that a loss?

Republican excuses: “We can’t cut federal spending right now because __________________________________________ (fill in the blank: “My dog ate my homework,” “My car ran out of gas,” etc. etc.).

Uh, wouldn't those be just minor rate of increase reductions?
Geez, you're such a stickler.

Don't think your math is correct. Total is 2.4 Trillion and Commission has to come up with 1.5 Trillion which means he only gets 900 Billion (.9 Trillion) unless I read it wrong. If your math is correct and the doofus gets 2.5 Trillion now then we all need to order a case of Vaseline for the BOHICA moment.

The Com-Post is just angry because the crisis that they have been pushing is not having the results they want, i.e. the Republicans didn’t cave like they always have.

Bingo. Any budget bill that raises the debt ceiling, does not include significant and immediate spending cuts, raises taxes or does not contain an enforceable balanced budget requirement is a defeat for conservatives.
To: MinorityRepublican
If this is a victory I'd hate to see what an ass-whupping looks like.

The real question about this so-called “deal” is ... do we as tax payers at least get a Reach-around?

Dunno what the hell you're talking about. The next budget comes up before little Obammy gets his campaign, and regardless, he has come out looking like, as I said (to remind you) an impotent silly child.
This did not benefit the Dems at all. It was not the Tea Party's dream, for sure, but anyone who thinks the Dems "won" anything on this needs to reexamine.

So the Republicans got the deck chairs arranged the way they wanted, but the Titanic is still sinking. What a great victory.

Like last time, the compromise will be “you the GOP let us win, and in return, we’ll go out telling the world how you whipped us.”
