Got any proof of that? What's your timeline on who submitted their budget proposals? Remember: President Obama submitted his budget in early February, 2011. When did Paul Ryan and House Republicans submit theirs?
Also, as I stated in an ealier post to this thread, per the GOP Pledge to America, their baseline for spending cuts was $1 billion/per year. Seems to me the President's original budget proposal would have netted them just over their baseline benchmark. And yet they rejected the offer.
Republicans submitted theirs right after taking control of Congress in January 2011. When did they have the power to submit one prior? Ryan's plan was much higher than 1.1 trillion in spending cuts.
Yes, debt service is around 200 billion a year with these low interest rates, 1.1 trillion divided by 10 = 110 billion
