Harry Reid finally puts up a plan…

Harry Reid finally puts up a plan…

Funny how it took this long isn’t it?

LATEST: DEMOCRAT SEN HARRY REID PROPOSAL

Rough notes from FNC producer Trish Turner about the Senator Harry Reid proposal:

•$1.2t – discretionary cuts – defense and non-defense. *Notes Boehner agreed to $1.2t before broke off talks w/ WH.

•$100b mandatory savings. Negotiated by Biden grp. Won’t impact Medicare, Medicaid, or SS benefits.

*Breaking this down-

*$40b in waste, fraud, abuse

*$30b in Fannie/Freddie reforms

*$15b in spectrum sales and Universal Service Fund Reforms

*$10-15b in agriculture reforms

*Higher education prog reform whose savings go to sustain the Pell Grant Program. (No dollar on this)

•$1t in savings from winding down the wars in Afgh and Iraq.

•$400b in interest savings.

Establishes 12-member joint Congressional Cmte to find future savings. To find additional savings.

Cmte’s recommendations will be guaranteed up/down vote in Senate, without amendment, by the end of 2011.

(Emphasis mine)

Let’s start with “40B in waste fraud and abuse” where have we heard that before? Oh yeah the health care debates, and the budget debates and the every debate regarding money since the 80’s. There shouldn’t be too much left in the pot should it?

Then lets talk about the “1t in savings from winding down the wars in Afgh and Iraq” Okay, this has already been done too right? I mean we have left Iraq according to the libbers, there’s no more fighting going on there so how does that contribute? Well our guys are still dying there but I guess that doesn’t count. And the Afghan war “Winding down?” is it really? Obama is pulling some troops out prior to election but is it really winding down? What happens if Afghanistan all of the sudden erupts into chaos (More than now) and you have to act on a”humanitarian” basis? That savings is cut down too… Or Iraq for that matter?… Where does 1 TRILLION dollars come from? Oh and lets not forget about the NOT war we’re in with Libya…

And the last really good typical Democrat ploy “Establishes 12-member joint Congressional Cmte to find future savings. To find additional saving” There ya have it folks, create a “COMMITTEE” and it solves everything… Well if you actually listen to the committee and if your committee isn’t full of idiots it might help… but never in the history of this administrations seat fillers has it been true. This is a typical “Don’t worry guys, we have people working on it” that’s enough to get us to the next election… DON’T FALL FOR THIS SHIT!

The last thing I want to bring up is this: We’ve been doing the debt dance for a month now. The Republicans have put fourth a couple plans. One plan, the CC&B plan has overwhelming support in America it was blocked in the senate. BY HARRY REID. Now, in a “CRISIS” we must pass HARRY’S plan… Um. NO. This is the typical Democrat tactic of “You can get stupid shit through the congress if the people believe it will be MORE stupid NOT TO.” This has got to stop. Boehner if you fold to this obvious bluff then you will lose your gavel in 2012.
