Well none of the bills cut any spending. Saying you will lower your deficit is not cutting spending. Another problem is both bills, without a balanced budget amendment are completely fucking useless. This congress can not predict what future congresses will spend without a BBA. It is all a game.
Rand Paul and a few of the other tea party people (who want the BBA) are trying to make real change and get things under control. The rest are playing a "we are cutting game" when there is no real cutting and no real guarantee that the levels of spending they lay out for the next 10 years will not be exceeded.
