I see your point, but my bet is that the house is going to go along with McConnell, it is best option to get rid of Obama, which seems to be the only thing Republicans care about. Economy be damned.

So Cantor is lying? The cuts aren't real?

A = Mineral Filled Asteroid Headed Towards Earth
W = Wars
X = Population
Y = Resources
Z = Standard of Living

As X increases, in a finite system, the cost to everything goes up and the resources become more scarce (raising prices) while your ability to earn money is constantly eroded. If you decrease the number of Y, you get exactly the same results. All roads lead to Z diminishing. You can change that though, with W, because it diminishes X and concentrates Y in your hands.

The more scarcities there are the greater chance for W.

That equation could be easily solved by A though.

Play with that scenario in your head.

There is no sticking to it, because Congress cant mandate future Congresses to take action. Its a pathetic partisan left wing bs of lies..

Why should they. Obama and the dems have increased the debt by $5 trillion over the last 4 years. Why should the republicans ever go along with any of their plans?

No they arent real.. Cantor can NOT mandate the NEXT CONGRESS take action and make cuts. Where have you gone to school that you learned otherwise?

Wrong as a typical liberal
The deficits shrank under Clinton because they CUT SPENDING, and they rose under Bush because spending INCREASED.. Its not about revenues because they've been consistant over the last 70+ years as a percentage to GDP..

SPENDING is the problem, NOT REVENUES

Clinton raised taxes, also.

Spending and revenues are the problem.

Wrong. The only reason the Left/dems/obama think there is a revenue problem is because the revenue coming in is not enough to sustain their out of control spending.

So Cantor is lying? Him and Biden didn't identify 1.7 trillion in cuts?

All discretionary spending could be cut and we wouldn't have enough to pay our debt, mandatory spending, and military.

We have a spending, entitlement, and revenue problem. If you believe anything else, you're just drinking the tea.
