Harry Reid agrees to $73 billion in cuts?

[Geee]

Daily Caller:

Appearing on CBS News’s Face the Nation with Bob Schieffer, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Senate Democrats and House Republicans have agreed to $73 billion in cuts. That number is $73 billion less than President Barack Obama’s budget, though, not $73 billion less than what’s actually in the current budget. Obama’s budget never passed.

Reid’s plan is really only $33 billion in cuts from the actual budget, but Schieffer never challenged Reid on that spin.

House Speaker John Boehner adamantly denies any agreement, but Schieffer never questioned Reid on that either, nor did the newsman make any mention of it.

“This is more than numbers,” Reid said. “This involves people. What they did with H.R. 1 is this bill did such mean-spirited things, not to cut the debt, but to send an ideological message. For example, little kids, Head Start, these are the poor little children around the country, little boys and girls, who want to get a head start.”

Schieffer asked the Senate Majority Leader if he thought Boehner and “Republicans who have been here [in Washington, D.C., where Face the Nation is broadcast from] for a while,” were “afraid” of the Tea Party movement. Reid replied that he thought “that’s a pretty good choice of words.”

Children, women, elderly, and minorities hardest hit.

This country is great enough that if the GOV. got out of the way the hardest hit would get far more focus from private efforts. Unless there is money in it for some corporate/union entity the GOV is not going to get it done.
