To Washington politicians, a slight reduction in a planned increase equals a “cut”. I’m planning to increase spending by $200 billion next year. I’ll reduce that to a $100 Billion increase in exchange for tax increases. The average dolt believes there has been a $100 Billion cut instead of a $100 Billion spending increase. Is it any wonder that the US is in a financial mess?

Spending cuts are never going to happen.

Every one is happy to get their current benefits. Most people have been spared pain.

Rich Obama voters will pay a little more to keep the rest of us from starving and being out on the streets.

Littleharbour I hear what you're saying but I still have some hope that people will recognize it for what it is.
