I have to say that I'm rather excited and shocked about the recently unveiled budget plan from the "Gang of Six."

Details here and here With support for it from Obama

Excited is actually the wrong word but I'm behind this plan. Mainly because it calls for real cuts in the budget and real tax reform (lower rates with removal of many deductions/loopholes). Not perfect but more than I would have thought Democrats would go along with. Anyone holding out for the perfect bill will die disappointed. It's slightly worrisome that the plan is more of an outline and the individual committees would figure out the details but again, I don't know how we could possibly expect better from our government.

Just curious what others think about it.
