Its like getting something for sale at a store that always has a sale. So 20% regular price... Isnt it really 20% less the real regular price when it is always on sale? Smoke and mirrors... Mirrors and smoke!

Why not propose and extra 30 trillion in spending next yr so then they can cut it and say they have eliminated the debt all in 1 year!

Actually, it reminds me of when my ex-wife would go out and buy something on sale at 10% off the regular price, put it on a credit card that charged 18% interest, and tell me how much money she saved...

Way to go Dems! Really tightening the belt!

Meanwhile, Obama continues to spend $170 billion per year on the useless Afghanistan war.
Yeah sure, get back to us when Obama actually cuts enough that he WON'T ask for the debt limit increase.

I don't care even if it seems meaningless. Start moving the ball in the right direction.
