That's why this "compromise" is a joke, just like we knew we'd get with Obama in office and Reid controlling the senate and even filibustering his own bill!
By that measuring stick, simply freezing spending would be "saving 400+billion"...
I cant believe "savings" means "dont spend at such a high rate, just lower it a bit....a tiny bit..."
And then a bunch if left to commission, where the democrats have already tipped their hand and said they'll be looking for tax increases.
How's about some spending cuts, assho's? Ya know, REAL ones?
