CBO: Dems' Plan Falls Short, Too

Looks like the Republicans aren't the only ones whose debt ceiling plan falls a little short: The Congressional Budget Office says the Senate Democrats' plan would only cut the deficit by $2.2 trillion over the next decade, not the $2.7 trillion promised by Harry Reid, reports the Wall Street Journal. The CBO had similarly bad news for John Boehner's plan yesterday, which has added to the problems he's facing in gaining support for his plan. In need of some levity?
