Someone chairing Responsible or not, Senate Republicans held firm Congress against a Democrat-led financing plan that would have put the additional $50 billion in bailout costs on the federal budget but outside the reach of the Gramm-Rudman deficit reduction law. So despite the late hour, Senate and House negotiators were sent back to the bargaining table where they hammered out a compromise only Congress could come up with: $20 billion would go on budget, but on the 1989 books, thus technically escaping the Gramm-Rudman law. The remaining $30 billion would be financed outside the budget. While both Democrats and Republicans argue that both billions of dollars and budgetary discipline are at stake, one independent budget expert does not. It's more than smoke and mirrors, it's, it's pure gimmick ledger sleight of hand, anything you want to call it, accounting gimmicks, um, but the ultimate impact is that it does nothing as far as the deficit is concerned.
