The American People Were Duped! What was hailed as the biggest spending cut in history by Speaker John Boehner and the rest of the House Republican leadership was little more than an exercise in smoke and mirrors.
According to The Washington Post: "A federal budget compromise that was hailed as historic for proposing to cut about $38 billion would reduce federal spending by only $352 million this fiscal year, less than 1 percent of the bill's advertised amount, according to the Congressional Budget Office." After promising to cut 100 BILLION dollars from the bloated federal budget and defund ObamaCare this year, House Republicans revised that figure down to 61 BILLION. Then, in an eleventh-hour "compromise" with Barack Obama and Harry Reid, Boehner and Company told us that they succeeded in getting 38.5 BILLION dollars in cuts. But when it was all said and done, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the "cuts" for this fiscal year were a paltry 352 MILLION dollars. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/9F7ABC9972694B8AACBB7C1972202AA9@dual ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
