[Stinky The Clown]

The committee charged with administering the coup de grace on America's social safety net.

How bad will we get fucked?

1. Actually, it's Wednesday

so we'll get fucked even worse, 'cause that's even better than the usual Friday news dump.

[Stinky The Clown]

2. Well ... sorta Wednesday. They have to have a deal written on Monday so they can present it on Wed.

4. CBO has to score it

before it's a deal. I read that the effective deadline is Monday.

3. I wonder how much they're going to super screw us. nt

[Mnemosyne]

5. Without a kiss even...

[TheWraith]

6. So when they announce that they've failed to reach any deal...

Will you be admitting that you and others have been overwhelmed by paranoia, past the point of rationality?

7. It didn't really sound too bad

For the most part, entitlements are exempt. Most agencies take a significant cut, so it's unclear what effect that would ultimately have. The military takes a huge hit, so for that reason alone I doubt the GOPhers will allow it to happen. I look to see some serious concessions in the way of tax increases on the rich at the 11th hour.
