1. Since POTUS wants deep cuts too, it shouldn't be a problem.

Well, except that some true Dems in Congress won't put up with such unabashed theft.

I guess it truly is a mess.

3. McConnell feels confident he can get a deal with the POTUS
If he wants entitlements cut he goes into his meeting with Obama on common ground.

This isnt the change I was expecting.

5. That is the source of future spending increases.
It's not possible to fix the 75 year budget numbers without addressing it.
