Ya, the Pubbies last time, this time, really slashed and burned. 100 billion in actual spending was cut to 97 billion or so. Meanwhile, there are all these constitutional spending mandates. The Courts will be chiming in. Do you know how to spell the word INITIATIVE? But that takes time too, for those to pass, if they do, and then for the savings to kick in. Meanwhile, there is no TIME. The sand has run out of the hour glass.
God, I wish someone would blow me away with hard numbers. I would so LOVE to be proven totally wrong.
