Probably because it’s a total crock of shit.

(The Hill) — Twenty-four hours closer to the nation “cataclysmically” exceeding its borrowing authority, the White House appeared to be losing patience, as officials urged Congress to get moving on a plan that can pass.

White House press secretary Jay Carney continued to dismiss House Speaker John Boehner’s proposal, holding steady on a veto threat from President Obama while offering qualified endorsements and a defense of Senate Majority Harry Reid’s (D-Nev.) plan.

Carney defended Reid’s proposal in particular for containing savings attributed to drawdowns in Iraq and Afghanistan, saying that money saved by not being at war is the same as money saved from cutting programs.

“If you’re asking me if the policy decisions of this president are going to save $1 trillion, I’d say yes,” Carney said. “And I encourage you to write and talk about it.”
