#1 The tax hikes will take place immediately. The spending cuts, never.

#3 White House offered $1 trillion in spending cuts

No spending cuts, reductions in the increase of Obama's fantasy budget. A meaningless number bandied about for his partisans and unsuspecting rubes. It deserves the Tidy Bowl Flush, just like the economy under Obama.

Federal budgets:
2007: $2.78 trillion (deficit $244 billion)
2008: $2.93 trillion (deficit $410 billion)
2009: $4.00 trillion (deficit $1.84 trillion)
2010: $3.72 trillion (deficit $1.56 trillion)
2011: $3.82 trillion (estimated deficit $1.5 trillion)
2012: $3.73 trillion (estimated, but good for a laugh)

BTW, the projection is the feds under Obama will spend $4.5 trillion/year in 5 years (2016).
