There is no listing of what the cuts are because the proposal is to have the NEXT Congress make a list while we continue to spend out of control for the next couple of years.

There is no agreement, hence nothing is published. I am quite sure there are a lot of documents of proposed ideas, but they certainly are not going to release them, just to hope to get chucksnee's approval.

The GOP wanted 2 trillion in cuts, Obama doubled that proposing 4 trillion, and only want the gop to pitch in 1 trillion, that's it. Of course the right absolutely refuse to cut anything out of "their" spending.
The GOP's idea of spending cuts is to slash essential services while continuing to bankroll the snot out of the rich and the mega corporations. It's clear the democrats are ready to be adults and make the tough cuts to balance the budget, while the republicans are only out to make sure the elites are taken care of and could care less about the budget nor the american people.
massive would be an exageration and it also leaves out the fact that it was a gop majority in the house....
But lets look at the wildly successful plan.
Deregulating the banking industry? Isn't that considered one of the primary factors that caused the problems we face today? Who was barney frank and Chris Dodd for a 1000 alex? This done both Clinton and W.
Wars on 2 fronts and now 3? Who voted for those wars> Oh yeah thats right both parties. Who has continued the wars and added a 3rd? The 3rd with out first getting congressional approval. By the way why are involving ourselves in Lybia?
Tough cuts? Hmmm When? Oh in the future. How about we start today with their salaries?

There you are bob....

How can anyone agree to a plan that has not been published? Oh wait, that's right...dems have to pass it and then read it after it is passed....

Well, bob...the repubs plan is out there....and just why would the most transparent administration not show us what they are planning to cut?

Hey bob, I need to borrow a single dollar....but just give me a signed check and I promise to only cash it for a single dollar...
