He did present some plans in Feb and got zero votes. Not even the Dems
would support his plan. Part of the problem is that the taxes would
take effect immediately and the spending cuts are all years away. By
the time they would take effect he would try to get them scotched. That
is the problem. The Republicans are all about doing the cuts now,
taking effect now and then discuss the tax increases. That makes
sense. Obama's way is nothing but the old Dem MO writ large, get the
taxes in place and then forget about the spending cuts. We cannot
afford that any more. The sooner this POS administration and its
supporters are gone, the better.

But it is the Republicans these news organizations blame, mostly.
He has presented a plan. He would make drastic cuts provided the
Republicans also accept tax reform-caused increases in tax revenue.
The Republicans reject this plan, so there is no point in detailing
his proposed, drastic cuts until the Republican are willing to go
along with tax revenue increases.
