3. An Agreement to Agree - Republicans Can Easily Renege On $800 Million!

They don't specify what deductions they will cut and, instead, say that those details can be worked out later. Thus, Republicans can then reach impasse later, pocket the cuts, then demand additional cuts and use the debt limit as a weapon to cut even more. It is amazing how the mainstream media fails to point out that Republicans have not offered squat, since they are only promising to discuss the specifics later.
