re: #31 Dark_Falcon

I doubt it. It’s more a case of a need to cut while they have political momentum, with other concerns secondary. Spending has to be cut and to wait may not be feasible, since the best time economically may not be as good a time politically.

They have consistently overestimated their momentum, first in the lame duck and now in Wisconsin. As someone said here, if deficit reduction doesn’t include hits on defense and entitlements as well as tax increases, it’s bogus.
