I’m having even more doubts that we are a center-right nation any more... seems more like center left. Cuts are all well and fine with the American people as long as it’s somebody else’s rice bowl.
All you have to do is drag the idea of cutting Medicare through Free Republic, to get a whole bunch of "conservatives" to start wailing about how they paid for it and how the Government promised them....
And if that's what Freepers think, you can imagine how the sheeple would react.
