Not enough in cuts, though.

What do you mean 10%?The study group won't come to an agreement anyways. At least this way we get 10% and faster.
For those interested in the actual "Deal", the NY Times gave a pretty good breakdown....and down the line the neocon/teabagger folk may not be too happy. Check it out:

The only way out of this mess seems to be not coming to an agreement on the spending cuts. It will force across the board cuts.
New Gallup poll shows that 58% of Democrats support the compromise. Only 26% of Republicans support the compromise. Republican victory? Bullshit.
More Americans Oppose Than Favor Debt Ceiling Agreement
Democrats like this more than anyone else.

Once again it's a total victory for the government loving left. What a sell out to liberty Boehner and the Republicans are. Which is why I left the party in 1992 rather then vote for HW's slow death over the Democrat's quick one. Years down the line when future congresses can simply reverse it we'll cut. In the mean time we continue to borrow 40% of what our government spends.
Bohehner and the Republican congress, fuck you and the fart that blew you in. Once again you fucked your country to get re-elected. Congratulations, you're next in line after the 1995 congress for taking a stand and then selling us out.

It's a victory for the RINOs who want to continue to be elected to do nothing about our issues.

Kaz, maybe 15% of Americans want your type of political philosophy.
I will write this gently: not going to happen.

The last elections just showed how wrong you are. If we can get more Republicans to stop wanting government to own our bodies and fight in other people's wars we'll start drawing more from your back yard and then you'll really be in trouble.
FDRs New Deal prolonged the Great Depression and led to one of the worst economic periods in US history. FDR and Hoover got it wrong with their interventionist policies, unless you think a decade long depression is a success. I suggest you look into the Depression of 1921, which ended within a year. The policies pursued in that Depression were the policies of small government, low taxes, and...guess what...not government interference.Kaz, maybe 15% of Americans want your type of political philosophy.

The last elections where a LOT of Independents, Progressives, Liberals and Democrats sat on their hands in protests of Obama's many (and some perceived) capitulations gave the Tea Party and GOP the House and some governorships.
And these folk ain't your Daddy's Republicans....not by a long shot. They are extreme idealogues who are hell bent of repealing FDR's New Deal and all that sprang from it since....thinking this time they'll get it right!
Anti-New Deal? If I am not mistaken the Neocons like George Bush pushed for TARP. I wish they were Anti-New Deal. The New Deal was a complete failure, as clearly demonstrated by the length of the Great Depression.For those interested in the actual "Deal", the NY Times gave a pretty good breakdown....and down the line the neocon/teabagger folk may not be too happy.

The neocon GOP thought they could create, use and then discard the teabaggers...instead, they got a royal fuck up that exposes the anti-New Deal agenda of the neocons....which has TOTALLY FUCKED UP THIS COUNTRY.
We "borrow" because we spend on illegal wars (but keep them off the books), deregulate Wall St. and the banks and then don't prosecute them when the steal, give tax breaks and cuts to millionaires and mega-corporations that don't need them.
Any future congress that tries to revisit reagonomics on steriods should be shot on sight.

QFT, and thank God. My daddy's Republicans are why I left the party. They were just Democrat lites.

Right, government went from 20% of GDP which was way too high to 25% and only an "extreme ideologue" would oppose that. You are the extreme ideologue refusing to deal with what your socialist policies are doing to destroy the West even a little. Government cannot be cut no matter how poor we all become, the precedent of an actual cut would just be too risky. People may wake up and realize the sun still comes up tomorrow without government taking credit for it. Extreme...ideologue...look in the mirror.
Well, in light of the events in the markets and with the debt ceiling over the past few days,
it's nice to see the title of this thread still alive and kicking.

It is progressives who think the same failed policies of the New Deal will work now and those that ended a prior depression in 1 year will not.
