Cut it to the bone and then get out the bone saws

There is no bone, and there is no muscle. Once you cut through the fat you get to a gelatinous ooze that constitutes the proto-backbone of our political class.

[ex-snook]

Apply the machete to foreign entitlements before applying to American entitlements. The role of world policeman beyond our borders for dictator demise and nation building should be ended before cutting health care for senior Americans and education for young Americans. Put our priorities in order.

Neither a scalpel nor a machete is the answer. Drop a Lulu.

If Obama wants a scalpel, the necessary tool is a Cat D9 Bulldozer.
