Marco Rubio Serves Up The Painful Truth (Updated)

Neal Boortz  "No, seriously. You need to see this video of Marco Rubio speaking on the Senate floor about the debt ceiling debate. He even takes questions from … John Kerry! Just watch it. It’ll be worth it."

A Tea Party Triumph "This one includes no immediate tax increases, despite President Obama's demand as recently as last Monday. The immediate spending cuts are real, if smaller than we'd prefer, and the longer-term cuts could be real if Republicans hold Congress and continue to enforce the deal's spending caps."
Rush doesn't but this theory, thinking its a media trick to get recalcitrant conservatives on board. More on this Tuesday when Rush's transcripts come out but his thought is that if it's a TEA Party win, Obama will not sign off on it.
Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday  "I've just been handed a note here that says, "Rush, you were right. Harry Reid, joint committee, must include taxes or trigger will kick in." Well. Told you. Yesterday we were sitting here and we were discussing whether the Bush tax cuts sunset or not. No matter what the scenario, there will have to be a tax increase. The Republicans were running around all day yesterday and the day before claiming victory because they had come up with a plan that guarantees no tax increases. Obama doesn't get to raise taxes, no tax increases in this deal."
