The Congressional Budget Office, the non-partisan policy analysts that both sides respect, scored both the Reid and Boehner plans and found that the Reid plan reduced the deficit by more, 2.2 trillion for Reid and 850 billion for Boehner. Isn't this ironic that Republicans have said Democrats don't want to cut spending but the plan put in by a Democrat actually cuts the deficit more over the next ten years? This is normal fantasy indulgence by the right.
I wonder how the Tea Party is going to react to this. They are unahppy with Boehner right now anyway, so this could very well fuel a primary challenge by a more conservative candidate. The Tea Party really cannot be pleased. It has been obvious over these debt negotiations that they do not like compromise. They are like spoiled children that don't want to share. They want all they ask for or they will ruin the game for everyone else. I hope Americans have learned from their mistake of electing these mentally unstable Tea Party freshmen in 2010, and will vote in some adults to office.
