Yup, $0.00.
The GOP plan contained about $2.2 trillion in cuts — well over the $1.2 trillion minimum required of the Super Committee by the debt limit law. That left the Republicans ample room to include many kinds of near-term growth measures, but they picked none.
In the past, some Super Committee Republicans have contended that cutting spending is in and of itself a form of stimulus — expansionary austerity, if you will. But most experts dispute this idea, and Republicans themselves don’t even seem to believe it.
