So do I; as a moderate libertarian 1.2 trillion of cuts to entitlements and the bloated defense budget sounds great.
Bring on the deadlock (of this specific committee).
Heck of a lot better than more cuts to discretionary spending (the "good" part of government - you know, schools, roads, research, all that kind of stuff). We've gone on a massive military and entitlement fueled spending binge and seeing those issues cut rather than seeing the useful bits of government cut to the bone to put a drop in the ocean-sized bucket of the entitlement/military spending insanity is a very positive thing.

You didn't read the article then. The health care industry wants the committee to fail because they are afraid the committee will make deeper cuts than what the triggers will cut if no deal is reached and signed into law. The trigger being pulled wouldn't cut too much from health spending, it would hit the "good part" of government spending and the military harder.

Ugh.
The trigger was changed from what it was when I was reading about it before implementation.
Still would like to see those defense cuts but that is far less attractive.

I like to see spending cuts, tax increases, and entitlement reforms. Use some of those savings to invest in every infrastructure project around the country that is on hold or not being done because of lack of funding.
