Just in case you hadn’t figured it out...

Cato’s Chris Edwards:

Republicans and Democrats have come together on a "historic” budget deal that cuts federal spending by more than $2 trillion over 10 years.  The Washington Post’s lead story calls the cuts "sharp” and "severe.”

However, the budget deal doesn’t cut federal spending at all.

Only the weasels in Washington would call annual increases that reach $191 billion by the 9^th year a "cut.”  They lie, and the DSM helps ’em.
