Barack Hussein and the Dumbocrats have won big time if this "deal" passes:
* The framework that Republicans and Democrats are close to approving would raise the debt limit by at least $2.1 trillion and get Obama and congressional Democrats past their target date: Election Day 2012.
* In return for this generous political cover, Democrats would agree to a modest $1 trillion in supposed cuts spread out over 10 years; $350 billion of those upfront savings come from gutting national security resources.
* In addition to the $1 trillion, the framework sets up a special congressional committee that would seek $1.4 trillion in deficit reduction by the end of 2011. Of course, for liberals, deficit reduction is synonymous with higher taxes.
* If the commissions recommendations are not enacted, across-the-board spending cuts would be triggered, half of which (nearly $500 billion) would come from national security spending
* Sadly, some liberals view our nations national security as a bargaining chip and fail to recognize that (1) defense spending is not the cause of the problem, and (2) these cuts put our troops and our national security at risk. We suffered our first 9/11 attacks because Clinton gutted defense spending and neglected his National Security duties. Now, thanks to Barack Hussein and the Dumbocrats, we will suffer our second 9/11 in the future.
Put the security of the nation at risk or raise taxes. This is the sour deal liberals just made with the GOP liberals. Once again, thanks to the Dumbocrats, America gets the Raw Deal in the end.
