A 1-1/2 TRILLION shortfall is “living within our means”?? Only in Democrat la-la land. Those people are nuts.
$1.4 Trillion will be the deficit the Republicans propose, or maybe they’ll really cut and got with a $1 Trillion deficit. That would mean they cut $500 Billion from the budget. If they keep this up they will get their azzes handed to them in 2012. If you are going to spend us into oblivion, you may as well have the press lavishing praises on you like the Democrats do. Translation, balance the budget NOW, or turn it over to a new party. I personally will not support a party that spends more than we take in, I don’t care who they want to blame for the predicament. NOT ONE MORE DIME, over and above the amount brought in by taxes.
