The compromise “Gang of Six” plan to get out of the debt ceiling crisis was blasted Wednesday by conservatives angered that any Republicans would be considering a plan that calls for $1 trillion in taxes -- under the guise of balancing the budget.
Paul Ryan, the Republican chairman of the House Budget Committee, said the gang’s numbers don't add up. He described the plan as “a backroom bill."
And Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, complained that the gang plan was not written down. “Nothing [to] praise or criticize,” he tweeted before sending another message slapping down the National Journal for saying his organization had backed the plan.

not a good plan. they need to bring the house bill to the senate (cut,cap and balance)and take a vote. then just let it go from there. let the chips fall where they may.
How does anyone know whether or not its a good plan when in fact, what they have introduced is simply a framework, which they have admitted as much. Bunch of partisan idiots. They loved the Ryan plan within 24 hours of it's introduction (wonder how many read it). Lefties loved the healthcare bill within 24 hours of it coming out (think they read that too?).
This plan used Obama's 2011 budget proposal as the baseline to count savings.
Obama's proposal would increase the defecit by 14 trillion over ten years.
More back room smoke and mirrors and shady accounting.
Lets face it, nobody in Washington has the guts to tell Americans that the entitlements are going to stop, or we're going to default.
7:37, whats funny is that the same people supporting conservative cuts because they think "reps. are on our side" are the same ones who are soaking up most of the budget in the form of entitlements.
