You know, If John Boehner would only stand up to the TEABAGGERS he might have  a chance to NOT go down in history as a complete fool.

Well, since he IS a complete fool, maybe it is only Karma at work.

CBO: Boehner Debt Plan Saves $850 Billion Over Ten Years, Just $1 Billion In 2012

John Boehner Cbo Debt Ceiling

Posted: 7/26/11 07:16 PM ET

  
 

WASHINGTON -- The debt ceiling deal introduced by Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) would save, by one measure, roughly $850 billion over the course of ten years and just $1 billion in 2012 -- two metrics unlikely to satisfy the most conservative members of his conference.

The Congressional Budget Office, which is the official scorekeeper of legislation, released its analysis of the Budget Control Act of 2011 on Tuesday afternoon. The findings were damaging enough that an hour later, Boehner's office told reporters it would rewrite the bill to achieve a more favorable scoring. Measured against March 2011 government expenditure levels, the proposal, as currently written, would reduce the deficit by $850 billion during the next decade, according to the CBO. Measured against January 2011 government spending levels, the bill would reduce budget deficits by roughly $1.1 trillion during that same time period.

The findings are a setback of sorts for the speaker, who was hoping to present a package of steep cuts to a skeptical GOP. In the end, however, he is a victim of his own success. The reason that the CBO adjusted its baseline is, in part, because of the spending cuts that Boehner was able to secure during the government shut down debate during the spring.

Potentially more problematic for Boehner is the finding that his debt ceiling package will only reduce federal spending by $1 billion in 2012, and $16 billion in 2013. House Republicans have demanded that deep cuts be felt immediately as a condition for their support.

"Americans deserve immediate spending cuts that demonstrate that we are charting a swift path toward a balanced budget. We must implement discretionary and mandatory spending reductions that would cut the deficit in half next year," read a May 2011 letter from the conservative Republican Study Committee.

"[A]ny move to raise the debt limit must be accompanied by immediate spending cuts and binding reforms so that we don’t continue to push our country down the road to bankruptcy," House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said in early May.

Boehner himself has repeatedly echoed those statements. Earlier this month, he specifically pushed back against a suggestion by Democrats that the majority of spending cuts could be concentrated in future years, rather than begin immediately.

Looks like Boehner to me.

Just remember my socialist friends, no matter what plan goes thru, the House has to pass it.

 

Skippy

P.S. I place Obama with the likes of Carter, FDR & Wilson.

Meaning they all were and are Horrible for this great Nation.


Skippy, at one time I thought you were being facetious but reading your postings lately I am beginning to think you are delusional.

 

And it is my understanding that you live in Utah or somewhere "not from round here, are ya" and if you are EVER in Alabama and especially North Alabama, I highly recommend you don't knock FDR.

You would have been missing some Mormon teeth a few years ago if you spouted such nonsense at plants like TVA or Reynolds and even today better watch your back if you speak such in front of those of a certain age in the south. 

 

As for your "assertation" of "whose in charge" it is the THUGS in the room who are holding the country hostage.  The party of NO, the my way or the highway crowd and you are actually touting this as something to be proud of. 

 

Sad.

Sounds like I hit a nerve.

Sorry but the truth is the truth.

Wilson, FDR, Johnson, Carter and now Obama were and are a disaster for this Country.

The socialist policies these Presidents brought to this Country brought Irreparable damage.

This is a Republic. The Constitution is what it is. Someday I hope to visit your area. I plan on being respectful when I'm there. As far as Mormon Teeth. Mormon is a Nickname and not the name of my teeth. If anything they are Christian Teeth. I have some D A M N hard knuckles that will do my talking if needs be. Haven't been to good at that turning the other cheek thing.

Anyway nice chatting.

I see, so you're a tough guy? Nothing more impressive than an undereducated cultist who thinks he's Chuck Norris. I'd love to make you cry, if I haven't already.
