WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama and Republican congressional leaders reached historic agreement Sunday night on a compromise to permit vital U.S. borrowing by the Treasury in exchange for more than $2 trillion in long-term spending cuts.

Officials said Republican Speaker John Boehner telephoned Obama at mid-evening to say the agreement had been struck.

No votes were expected in either house of Congress until Monday at the earliest, to give rank and file lawmakers to review the package.

they haven't said what they are going to cut. They are playing up the fact that they made a deal with each other

Can this still be struck down or is this it?

Bringing the troops home from Afghanistan and Iraq would save them lots of cash.
