Congressman Dennis Ross (R-FL) is reading the same report we are about the apparent “deal” reached between the White House and Republican leadership.

In exchange for a $2.8 trillion immediate debt increase, we get a DOA vote on the Balanced Budget Amendment, promised cuts in the future that will never materialize, and just about nothing else.

Ross notes that the “deal” amounts to surrender. We give Obama everything he wanted, we get empty promises and votes we could have held already.
