Yeah. Republicans in the House will cut spending where it is needed. I’m sure they’ll go ahead and try to implement changes in Medicare and Social Security. And I’m convinced they’ll cut the military, as well as to SCHIP, Medicaid, unemployment insurance and food stamps.

Once they do that, I’m sure the Senate will pass it and have zero doubt the President will sign

My prediction is that they will extend the debt ceiling and kick the spending cuts down the road even further. There is now no incentive to cut spending.
