“Why does it always come down to Medicare and Defense?
There are literally thousands of bureaucratic monstrosities that can be cut.”
OK, I’ll bite.
Putting this clause in there was the _only way_ the Pubbies were going to get the ‘rats to agree to ANYthing.
But wait! Isn’t there a provision in the bill that states if the parties (or the supercommission, or whatever) cannot agree on where to make cuts, that automatic, ACROSS-THE-BOARD cuts will happen automatically?
Think for a moment — isn’t the latter exactly what must be done, if we are ever to get the spending and ever-mounting debt back under control?
Cut Medicare - YES!
Cut Medicaid - YES!
Cut Social Security - YES!
Cut the military - YES
Cut ObamaCare - YES!
Cut the beauracracy - YES!!!!
CUT THEM ALL!
CUT EVERY DEPARTMENT!
CUT EVERYTHING!
Isn’t that just what we, as conservatives, are shouting about?
The BEST thing that conservatives could do is (after the bill is passed) refuse to agree to any cuts at all — and let the rest happen by default (pun intended)!

RE: Cut ObamaCare - YES!
NO, ELIMINATE IT TOTALLY.
