Here is a clever little video that provides some perspective on the size of our problem and the symbolic, but meaningless, gestures to do something about it.

Oh I have no illusions that anything will ever be done unless it is crammed down our throats by our creditors. If Reagan couldn't cut government by a dime, it ain't ever gonna happen willingly.

My comments were meant to show how disingenuous Obama and others have been about cuts in spending. Unless entitlement reform cuts are made, we will never be able to get our deficit under control. Even the Reps who want to cut $100 billion out of the budget or to return to 2008 spending levels will not be enough by a long shot.
