True. All the plans from
both sides have alot of smoke and mirrors.
The point is zero plans should be considered right now. Raise the damn debt ceiling, it's a routine accounting procedure having nothing to do with future spending.
Then, if you are serious about cutting spending, and raising revenue, sit down and do it, and come up with all the plans you want, which you can implement whenever you want.
Choices:
Obama invokes the 14th because Boehner is literally prevented from doing anything by the Tea Party 5-1
House Dems save Boehner's ass by voting for the Senate Reid plan, with Boehner adding in 3/4 of the "normal" Republicans while allowing the 47 crazy Tea Party to be cut lose 10-1, I don't think he can pull it off. There is disastrous turmoil in that caucus, even with Wall Street calling the shots.
