Remember, this is 2011 Obama / Pelosi budget that was trimmed, in a way retroactively.

2012 is the budget year that 2010 class of Republicans was elected to enact. So the current cuts, even though modest, are a bonus.

There seems to be a 100% or bust mentality going on. This wasnt our budget, and we got something. It took the socialists over 100 years of incrementalism to get where we are. It will probably take the same to get us back. It wont be easy and it wont be quick. And that will make a great amount of reactionaires and pessimists cry the world is ending or that they have been sold down the river.

Our country and specifically, our movement, has such a short attention span and lack of patience that we give up in 3 months. We will never advance that way. I saw a post a few weeks back that Allen West is a RINO because he only votes conservatively on budget matters 75% of the time. That was after he had been in office 6 weeks. How is there enough data yet at that point (and what was the author counting as the right vote) to call him a RINO (the laziest term out there).
