What "cutting?"
They haven't cut crap yet.
Was this post even necessary, really? ^
Yes. You keep on making claims like others without any facts.
Your post was retarded. It assumed nobody knew the fucking thing didn't pass yet. Jesus christ.

What....Did you expect that all the overspending was all going to go away overnight?It flattens the tax rates and eliminates a lot of the credits and deductions, AKA corporate welfare.
And even though it doesn't eliminate them altogether, it's a damned good start.
So you're on record as supporting a budget that potentially INCREASES the Debt? Roger that.
Deeply as I myself would cut spending, I'm not so naïve believe that DC politics aren't in play here.
Even so, it's a start -you do have to start somewhere- and a dam sight better than anything anyone with that (D) by their name is proposing.

Where do you get this crap? How would it increase debt?
CBO's score shows it increasing the Debt.

CBO didn't reveiw the actuall legislation so how can you make this claim?
Increasing the debt is a good start on decreasing the debt. I'm still waiting to see evidence that you are anything more than a partisan hack.What....Did you expect that all the overspending was all going to go away overnight?It flattens the tax rates and eliminates a lot of the credits and deductions, AKA corporate welfare.

You are the one saying it will raise the debt.
How can you say that when it hasn't actually been analyzed?
As with most issues of this magnitude I think people need to step back and readjust their perspective. To do that people need to see this budget problem isn't something that happened overnight. And the problem is not just the over spending, it's what government spent the money on. Over many decades, starting basically with FDR, government has spent and expanded more and more social entitlements. Entitlements make up an enormous part of the budget. If any meanigful dent in the budget and/or the debt is going to be made than some entitlements will have to be cut.
And the truth is most of the opposition's criticism to these cuts is right and 'the right' might do well to just admit it and start being brutally honest with the American people. We have a decision to make. Do we make entitlements the one sacred cow that we don't touch and try to get rid of this debt some other way? Or do we agree that there can be no sacred cows in trying to solve the debt problem, meaning some entitlements may get scaled back or done away with altogether. If it's the later than maybe the GOP needs to admit that, yes, doing so is going to make life tougher for some people. It's going to make life tougher for the people that are dependent on said entitlements.
The biggest problem is if they're doing all of this cutting but still seeing an INCREASE in Debt.
If they cut into spending as far as I would, let alone cuts that brought the budget into balance, the heads of nutbars like you would .Increasing the debt is a good start on decreasing the debt.

That's because what they are cutting isn't offset by the tax cuts they plan to give the top 1%. In other words, screw the seniors and the poor and give the wealthy a tax cut.

Where is "potentially" here?
Excellent regurgitation of the DNC e-mail blast talking points!...You didn't have to copy-n-paste that, did you?
Yep, in your mind increasing the debt is a step in the right direction.
btw, just a couple of days ago the Republicans voted to continue subsidizing the oil companies.
So basically their plan is: we will shut down the government if you don't agree to raise the debt, break the public trust, screw the poor, and not keep subsidizing big oil.

Any tax cut at this point is insignificant next to the debt. Tackling the debt is going to take a radical change in perspective of the role of government in society and what it needs to spend money on. A couple percentage points in tax cuts or hikes to this group or that is irrelevant at this point.

That's true. And right now Congress is grappling with a few billions in tax cuts to avoid a government shutdown. So the question is, if they can't even agree on a few billion dollars in cuts to keep the government running, how are they going to be able to tackle the trillion dollar spending deficits? It's all so depressing.
