the day after yours.

the problem is that these guys think that our money is theirs, and when the smoke clears, they’ll still be spending more than they take in. they like to cut the other guys’s sacred cows, but refuse to make their fair share of sacrifice.

the real problem is the people who elected these folks to do some real cutting - what is gonna happen when they don’t? all them folks are gonna be real upset.

I think the real problem is that Conservatives eat their own at the first whiff, real or not, of weakness.

Did you read the article? Did you think about what was being said or done?

Here is a quote from the article:

Americans for Limited Government President Bill Wilson agreed with Brady that these cuts are a start to fixing Washington’s spending problem and that this is a test of the 112th Congress’s “political will.”

“Cutting 10 percent of the federal workforce is a good first step to restoring fiscal sanity,” Wilson said. “If we can’t do this basic cut, then it is impossible to believe that the political will exist to make the cuts necessary to recover form the Pelosi-Reid spending binge.”

Maybe you should look up the word "start" and allow people to take a first step in a marathon rather than bitch and moan that they didn't leap the full 26 miles.
