So what are these 'HISTORIC CUTS' they have agreed to? How come no one knows the details? |

If we live in a democracy, how come all this is happening in secret, behind close doors, WTF :argh:
So who has the details of this deal? So far I am not hearing any details.
TIA :toast:

1. Harry Reid said $78.5 billion off Obama's budget |
|
Which would be $38.5 billion in actual cuts.

3. Negotiations occur in private. That's the way things work. |

6. We'll learn the topics, but details still cooking so it won't be tonight. |
|
House Dems may have some issues, just hearing on MSNBC, so there's more to come. You're not the only one who wants to know the details.

Here's what the screen on Fox says (I can't believe I had to switch to Fox for this)
Fund military through April 15 Block funding for abortions in DC Fund government through Thursday
**If the DC thing is true, I am furious **
