Here are the details on the debt ceiling agreement

Absolutely nothing of real consequence was decided here, except to raise the debt ceiling. I like the gradual defense cuts, but those were probably coming anyway. Outside of that, I see the public forgetting about the cuts that they've promised to revisit and the debt continuing to balloon.

Im sure the defense cuts include the withdrawal plan from Afghanistan and what not

The only good news is that there's too much bad news for Barry to hide from. All the lies and "adjusted" GDP reports are coming to the forefront.

I figured we'll see a filabuster on this.
