Too funny, please post a link, and Obama saying so doesn't count.
I am not sure who said it, but there was a poll saying only 20% support the GOP approach of only cuts, and nothing else. That leaves 80% disagreeing. Yes?
Approval option. People opt to support the party which actions they approve the most, or disapprove the least.
There are proposals from the bi-partisan board, which said could cut 4 trillion, there is the Ryan plan, which even the Republicans vomited out, there is the Obama 4 trillion plan, there is the Republican plan etc...So there are plans.
Yes the Republicans have a plan the Dems do not. Obama has no plan, please link the details of obama's 4 trillion in cuts.
Obama has already ruled out Simpson/Bowles so you're wrong about that too.

No links from me but last week or the week before (time flies, you know), the Dems plan was $4Trillion in cuts with 1 Trillion in revenue increases (taxes). That plan was turned down.

Because the tax increases we specific and immediate and the cuts were vauge and down the road. The reason you don't have a link is because the Dems refused to really cut anything.
Read the methodology of that poll. The only people surveyed were those who lived in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Ohio, Virginia, all of which voted democrat in the 2008 presidential election. While we are at it, why don't we poll the ACLU asking them what they think of the job republicans are doing and publish that info? It would be just as fair as this 'study'.
There is nothing more annoying than national news channels using deceptive statistics to prove a false point.
Edit: I was just reading the poll a little closer, and thought I would post the true results (since CNN did not do that). Here is the raw results of the question asked about the debt ceiling. God only knows how CNN came up with 71% overall, but the one thing we can all agree on is that Fox is not the only news station that completely makes up numbers.

26. As you may know, unless Congress and the president can agree to raise the federal debt limit soon, the government will not be able to borrow more money to fund its operations and pay its debts. If the limit is not raised, who do you think would mainly be responsible for this: the Obama Administration or the Republicans in Congress?
To summarize this poll: only polled liberal states. Of the results, only those showing the most liberal results were displayed by CNN, and we actually take this seriously? Libs on this forum - please try to think for yourselves instead of having CNN do it for you.

The plan had no details. That $4T was over 10 years, again with no details.
Congress asked Obama for the plan and he hasn't given it to them yet.
If you did the math we'd still be $1T in the hole every year.
Now that you have some details..does that still sound like a good plan ?
