Geee Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 American Spectator:House Republicans have fulfilled their campaign pledge to cut $100 billion in spending in the first year, passing a continuing resolution (CR) on February 19 cutting that much for this year from President Obama's 2011 budget, which was exactly their pledge. That involves a $61 billion cut for the rest of this year from the baseline of the CR that is now funding the government through March 4.The deficit in President Obama's 2011 budget is more than 16 times the size of that $100 billion cut at $1.645 trillion, according to the President's own January budget report. Yet the Democrats are vociferously objecting even to that small down payment on the cuts that are necessary and still to come!Government Spending = Prosperity, Not!
