1. the president promised several days of internet viewing time for all of us to see what's in bills
before they're voted upon. Oh wait...

Seriously though, as many Reps and Senators said last night, they need to see what was agreed upon by the key players before deciding how to vote. The main cuts in the first part of this are said to be generally from discretionary spending, so part from Pentagon (maybe 300 billion?) and the rest from domestic programs (maybe 600 billion?). I'm really tired, but I think these are somewhat accurate.

2. marmar just put up a piece which indicates one segment.
Mostly, for now, just like all during the debate, the details are hush hush.
They did not want to blow the election,

but...see here...

4. As Always...
...we'll find out only AFTER there's a vote. The details are being kept hush-hush cause both sides know there's stuff inside that their bases will not like and they can't afford to have some last minute rear-guard revolt. The numbers are 61 and 218...that's all that matters and whatever it takes to get it is how this game is played.

5. Here's what will go up before the House Rules Committee

Good luck slogging through all 74 pages of legalese, but that's the most unspun version you're going to see.
