Why neither side will cut anything

Because they know:

we deficit spent 12% of GDP to achieve a 1.3% positive growth number - if they cut ANYTHING we go negative - there is, and has been, no recovery! all we have done is artificially and temporarily goose a collapsed economy- same thing happened in the 1930's! and you want to hear something depressing - had we not bombed all of our world competitors to dust and killed their work forces we might not have come out of the great depression for decades if ever - lots of growth when you are the only game in town rebuilding the world.

Both sides are concerned about haveing unemployed voters. They will spend every dime the USA has to stay in their jobs. When they lose their jobs the whole country will be better off.

I am so glad the wealthy are being given another fruit basket by the tea party.

Looks like the Congressional Progressive Caucus may not back the bill.

I guess then the Teapublicans can claim the moral high ground?
