House Speaker John Boehner immediately dismissed P

resident Barack Obama’s package of significant new entitlement cuts tied to new tax revenues, calling them “no way to lead and move the country forward.”

The White House had portrayed the proposal, part of the budget it will release next week, as a compromise with Congressional Republicans that could have put them on track for another run at a grand bargain.

But Boehner said he will not consider new revenues as part of the deal, arguing that “modest” entitlement savings should not “be held hostage for more tax hikes.”

they keep saying that but it's not with you in mind it's about the business, and cut to loopholes which they said they were ok with but we never heard which ones are about them anymore.  who's zoomin' who?

The budget proposal sets Obama up for major fights on his right and left. Republicans will not accept any new tax revenues and liberal Democrats have already signaled they will resist any cuts to Social Security and other entitlement programs that Obama is proposing.

Already, Obama’s budget proposal goes farther than many in his own party and base said they would bear by including “chained CPI,” the adjustment that would over time reduce cost-of-living increases to Social Security and other federal benefit programs — effectively, a cut to Social Security benefits by tying them to inflation.

in 2014 consider this and who would benefit and who would not,

something has to go in the L column or they could equally attach both, fair and balanced something they have shouted on Fox but was another sheepskin thrown over your eyes. but we are starting to poke holes in it and seeing the reality, now what we do with that reality is the determining factor of 2014.
