In other words, no spending cuts will ever happen. EVER

It’s called DC Elite Trickery. The plan will allow another Blue- Ribbon Commission to decide what cuts to make. CONGRESS NEVER follows commission recomendations.

Any GOP congresscritter who votes for this plan needs to be primaried. IT DOES NOTHING except punt.

IT DOES NOTHING except punt.

Given the current situation (i.e., the Democrats still controlling the Senate and the White House), a punt might be the only feasible option anyway.

As I have said on other threads....I am OK with "punting"..."kicking the can"...whatever you want to call it.

Why? Because neither the VAST majority of our country OR our out politicians show the stomach for doing what is necessary to avoid absolute calamity. These "proposals"...even the ones that are being demagogued by the Dems...are not even CLOSE to what needs to be done to keep us from falling off a cliff in the next few years to decade.

So...since no one seems to have the will to keep us from destruction...KICK THE CAN. PUNT THE BALL. Buy me a little more time to make my preps...pay off my debts...and get ready.
