Remember last week when the Democrats touted the fact that they were proposing a miniscule $6.5 billion in budget cuts? To hear them tell it, they were going after the budget with a chain saw, hacking away at spending like there was no tomorrow.
Surprise, surprise. The Congressional Budget Office – you know, the guys the Democrats said were unimpeachable sources during the ObamaCare debate – now says the Dems’ proposal doesn’t quite add up.
ABC’s Jake Tapper checks in with the specifics:
After last week’s meeting on Capitol Hill among congressional leaders and Vice President Biden, Senate Democrats wrote legislation and gave it to CBO to be analyzed.
CBO put the cuts at $4.7 billion.
Well, c’mon now. $4.7 billion with a b is nothing to sneeze at. And that doesn’t even include the Cowboy Poetry Festival.
