It looks like this is the deal we'll see Obama put on the table today.

No cuts to war, which is 60-70% of the budget, the 800 lb gorilla in the room that the plutocracy will keep feeding, even if it means starving the elderly, orphaned, and disabled.

This is perhaps the main reason they fear the Budget Control Act of 2011; it finally cuts our crushing war budget!
