re: #369 Obdicut

By god yes! If we’re going to cut spending, let’s not try to let rationality or appropriateness enter the debate. If $500,000 of spending on erosion control prevents $10,000,000 worth of damage, let’s cut that by 20% so we can enjoy the benefits of a few million dollars worth of topsoil floating down the river.

You’re right. The way we’ve been going about it has been much more effective. Maybe you could start off by explaining what spending programs should be left untouched? BTW, nice job jumping straight to the freaking out.

We can’t afford the direction we’re headed and everyone including the president has acknowledged it. Both the discretionary and non-discretionary portions of the budget are going to have to be cut eventually. Do it now before it gets worse.
