He said the deal would cut $1tn of spending over 10 years, and set up a committee to report by November on a proposal to reduce the deficit.

Congress still has to approve the deal, and no votes are expected until Monday at the earliest.

The parties face a Tuesday deadline to raise the $14.3tn debt limit.

so to put it more realistically, they will cut spending by 100 billion per year.

how much more will they borrow?

what is the interest paid per year on existing debt?

are they postponing the inevitable economic collapse coz they are not ready for all out war at this time?

Theres nothing that can be done now other than juggle who's going to get the label of bankrupting USA. Democrats want to prospone it past the 2012 elections so they can have a chance of a second term, while the republicans was it too fall now so that they have a stronger position in the election, but then it will crash when they're in term.

Its going to come either this year or next, they cant control that. All they can control is who will get the blame. One of the biggest flaws in politics, is that they only care about short term solutions.

FUBAR !

yeah that 1 trillion works out to 100 billion dollars a year

and when you got mandatory spending compounded by descretionary spending equals a recipe for more of the same

cutting spending? only way you can cut spending is it a comet hits the capital building cause they wont ever stop

Hooray!!!!
More debt for the future.
Bigger problems to solve when this rears its head again.
Golly Gee,thanks guys.

Another super important bill to review, and only one 'business' day to decide!



Why do they wait utill the last moment? hmm... Maybe, to cram tons crap and shady types of legislation in to a bill that is deathly important to the state of well being in America.
:

i imagined a bad outcome, but they trumped my estimates by 66%!

btw. obama announced this, pelosi has yet to say whether she agrees. she said she will review it tomorrow morning with other democrats, and it may still fail in the senate.

pray that it does, because this is the worst thing they could have done. in a few short years we'll be saying our farewell to america.

Woo hoo!!! The world has been saved from imminent FINANCIAL ARMAGEDDON! Phew! We've kicked the can down the road a little further. Nothing to see here folks so back to Gaga and reruns of Jersey Shore - until the real underlying economic problems surface and the global economy has a meltdown!

And the joke is its more like 800B only in cuts and the rest is fake ass stuff.

What was the total given in the bailouts? 3 trillion? And that was given in 2 years, and they want to make a difference with 100 billion a year? They are putting a band aid on a gash.

Wow, after reading all of the comments on this thread so far,

I need to go have a smoke....I am about angry...

Really, does this change anything?

Just another day to be affraid....

I wish I had a credit card with an unlimited balance which You would pay for ME!.
Where can I get one?

This is definitely delaying the inevitable...Economy Collapse

wow...Never taught I'd see news like this...just wow.

Might as well prepare for the "New World" I guess...

Peace

Well, it sure is good we spent weeks and weeks with that charade of a debate just to get back to right where we started.
