Ron Fournier, editorial director for National Journal, heaped scorn on members of Congress from both parties on Monday in a discussion on MSNBC about a proposed budget deal. The outlines of the deal, which avoid tackling debt drivers or reforming the tax code, will raise taxes on American travelers and may cut pension benefits for millions of Americans. Fournier called the deal “absurd” and said it was “pitiful” that lawmakers would congratulate themselves and take a vacation after this punt.
MSNBC anchor Chris Jansing noted that the small budget deal, many of the details of which remain unknown, was described by the Washington Post as a “ceasefire.”
POLITICO’s Carrie Budoff Brown noted that, while the deal is far from a grand bargain, is significant because the congressional negotiators plan to address some of the sequester cuts that have roiled a number of constituencies in Washington D.C. She added, however, that a long-term structural budget deal is a recipe for gridlock because both Republicans and Democrats are unwilling to compromise.
Fournier noted that this is indicative of how Washington works — something that he and average Americans should not tolerate. “I think, the fact that you’re even asking if this can be considered a deal or success just shows you how pitiful this city gotten right now,” he declared.

The budget deal reached between Patty Murray and Paul Ryan does nothing to reduce the debt or even the deficit by an significant amount. It does nothing for entitlement reform or tax reform. The deal breaks the sequester cap of $967 and increases spending to over #1 trillion for each of the next 2 years. The deal is just a steady as she goes kind of bill. In the bill there is a proposal to extract $26 billion from air travelers – air travelers are taking the hit in this bill.

I am so sad about the Republicans caving in and letting President Obama and the Democrats get rid of the Sequester spending cap limits!!!! I have contacted my Representatives and Senators and told them what I wanted them to do. I am happy to report that Tom Cotton and Rick Crawford voted in the House to keep the Sequester limits. I AM SO PROUD OF THEM!!!!!
Thank you for your time.

Many of them have dealt with the economy, eternal unemployment benefits, socialism, Greece, welfare state or on gun control.
