Default Debt Deal Emerging With Rightward Tilt
Debt Deal Emerging With Rightward Tilt

Quote:
President Barack Obama’s rightward lurch to reach a $3 trillion deficit reduction deal with no guarantee of additional revenues had liberals fuming and Republicans all but declaring victory Sunday afternoon.

With time running out to reach an agreement to raise the debt ceiling before Tuesday’s default deadline, Obama moved dramatically in the direction of the GOP, according to Senators and aides in both parties.

As details trickled out Sunday, the deal framework appeared to give Republicans most of what they were seeking — with about $3 trillion in guaranteed spending cuts but no tax increases, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Sunday.
I really posted this as an FYI....But also, because I REALLY wanted to show the following...

Quote:
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, said early reports of the new deal appeared to be “a sugar-coated Satan sandwich.”
If the CBC hates it, America wins...

So, if we don't think people should travel to certain countries, if people go against that and travel there anyway, it means they hate the U.S.?

Conjugal visit is an understatement.

I fully understand you won't accept anything less than the CBC holding a press conference where every member says, under oath, "I hate America", but some of us look at actions...I heard they're louder than words...

Except that Obama was seeking 4.5 tril package but who's counting.
This is the original bill with few exceptions that was voted on.
Congrats to your side for holding the world in breathless anticipation.
