Cuts, What Cuts? Deficit Bill Has No Cuts, No Revenue Either, Just Hot Air; "Sugar-Coated Satan Sandwich?"

Democrats are unhappy about alleged cuts to social programs. Republicans are unhappy about alleged cuts to military spending. With everyone seemingly unhappy, including President Obama, is the deficit bill a good compromise?

Before deciding, please consider a few choice comments regarding budget cuts from Debt and spending deal picks up momentum in Senate http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Debtlimit ... 0.html?x=0

• Sen. John McCain conceded as much, saying he'd have to "swallow hard" to vote for it because of cuts in defense spending. But the Arizona Republican said lawmakers had little choice in the face of the specter of default.

• Fellow Republican Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said he was a no vote. "Simply stated, it locks us into more debt, bigger government and most devastating of all, a weakened defense infrastructure at a time when we face growing threats."

• Rep. Elliot Engel, a liberal Democrat from New York, said he was leaning no because the plan could lead to cuts to Medicare and other benefit programs.

• "This deal trades people's livelihoods for the votes of a few unappeasable right-wing radicals, and I will not support it," said Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz.

And the House MAJORITY Leader

Boehner "As Mike Tyson would say" Is Suposidry (Suppossedly) in charge of the Republican Party; to vote in our best interest

2 HUGE Budget Battles Back to Back

2 HUGE Budget Battle MEGA - FAIL's Back to Back

0 - 2 is batting 0.00

Boehner failed faster than a Cheap Lawn Chair; Made in China; Sold at WalMart

Soup Sandwiches all of them

and Boehner needs to find a new line of work

as a matter of fact in the last Budget Battle Boehner promised 100 Billion in cuts

the that got watered down to 30 Billion

then that got conveluted down to 36 Million and even that wasnt Immeadiate

Mean while at a Press conferance justified by his victory of 36 Million the Leader of the house was ready to cry once more as he stated it was the best he could do

CAN WE PLEASE HAVE LEADERS THAT DONT CRY AND HAVE SOME SORT OF A BACK BONE

CAN WE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Simple Math here

the U.S. takes in 1.2 Trillion a Year and has done so for the last 10 years since 2001 when shit got goofy

in that same span of time 10 years the U.S. has borrowed / Printed 9 Trillion dollars

1.2 x 10 = 13 Trillion dollars in annual revenue

13 Trillion + 9 Trillion = 22 Trillion dollars

What I want to know is who is going to jail for Fraud / money laundering cash / Criminal Racketeering under the RICO ACT

AND THEY STILL WANT TO RAISE TAXES

I WANT THEM IN JAIL
