Congress Reaches Debt Deal

Sorry but cuts over 10 years are not going to happen. They are all backloaded. Even if they were evenly distributed, 240b isn't enough. We are deficit spending 1700 billion a year
 
Good, we should be spending more.

In response to this "deal":

“Unemployment will be higher than it would have been otherwise. Growth will be lower than it would be otherwise. And inequality will be worse than it would be otherwise,” Mohamed El-Erian, chief executive of the bond investment firm Pimco, said Sunday on ABC. “We have a very weak economy, so withdrawing more spending at this stage will make it even weaker.”

You idiots don't have to listen to me, but El-Erian might know a thing or two.
 
"legislative package that would extend the federal debt ceiling while cutting spending and guaranteeing further deficit-reduction steps."
