West isn’t declaring victory here as he acknowledges that this deal represents pennies compared to the size of our budget deficits. However, he does believe that this deal establishes a new culture of cutting spending in Washington DC, and that the era of big spending is over:
I think the jury is still out on whether the era of big spending is over or not, but I do like how he put the deal into perspective. I felt last night that there were too many politicians patting themselves on the back when I was thinking that this deal didn’t really accomplish much other than to show that Boehner isn’t a good negotiator.
Also, West talks about a depraved person sending white powder to his office. He says he’d love to talk to them wherever they want. Yeah, that’ll never happen. The Left hates to have real conversation.
