re: #58 blueraven

And I think you know that figure is a baseline from the original Bush tax cuts.
Had they ALL expired at the end of the year then we could wipe out that 4T over 10 years.

But since they did not we only cut 600 billion with the fiscal cliff deal.

Yes, the CBO scored on “realistic” scenario projections, Center for American Progress spun with projections based on going over the fiscal cliff. Both are real projections but I prefer to get my information from the CBO rather than a partisan think tank’s interpretation of the CBO. It’s entirely possible to oppose the GOP’s reckless debt limit games and still side with the actual CBO projections.
