After this result, I can’t wait for the big fight. The Democrats are laughing at you.
In a joint statement, Boehner and Reid said:
“We have agreed to an historic amount of cuts for the remainder of this fiscal year, as well as a short-term bridge that will give us time to avoid a shutdown while we get that agreement through both houses and to the President. We will cut $78.5 billion below the President’s 2011 budget proposal, and we have reached an agreement on the policy riders. In the meantime, we will pass a short-term resolution to keep the government running through Thursday. That short-term bridge will cut the first $2 billion of the total savings.”
.
We already got 10 billion so that makes a total of 88 and a half Billion in cuts.
Assuming they’re real cuts- not bad.
A “C” grade.
