Congress Reaches Debt Deal

They could still sink it tomorrow. Apparently there are only 100 or so guaranteed Democratic votes in the House so there neeRAB to be about 120 GOP votes
 
werd. if we don't change some things around we'll be doing this again in X months. Mucho cuts and more revenue enforcement, i.e. making corporations actually pay their taxes
 
"Someone has to say no. I will," said Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., a contender for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.

$2.4T in spending cuts during a recession/depression and a promise of no tax increases for anyone, could one of you derps tell me how Obama hasn't been the ideal moderate Republican candidate over the past 2.5yrs?
 
Because those two things are basically all the Republican party has going for it. Though the Osama thing and those two pointless wars kind of make the "Republicans are strong on defense" argument amusing at best. So tax cuts it is, and tax cuts will solve all of the world's ills, possibly cancer too.
 
The "plan" is utter horseshit. Cut ~900 billion over 10 years in exchange for a 900 billion increase in the debt ceiling right now. The ceiling can be raised in the future the same way.

Perpetual debt ceiling increases with perpetual supposed cuts over 10 years.

Anything over 10 years is bullshit. Hope the house votes this down.
