After the media, and both Republicans and Democrats hailed the “historic” cuts made in the $38.5 billion deal to fund the government for the rest of fiscal year 2011, you need to look at the bigger picture. According to CNSNEWS news, in just the eight days preceding the Obama/Boehner “deal”, the National Debt jumped a whopping $54.1 billion! This basically means that all the posturing, and eventual caving by Boehner and his “historic cuts” didn’t even cover the week leading up to the deal.






Aren’t you impressed? I can only imagine what all those “emergency sessions” and press conferences cost us too.
