re: #75 garhighway

I agree that they need to go after everything including entitlements but there are some decent sized cuts in their proposal with cutting discretionary spending to 2006 numbers being the largest. The smaller programs might be red meat for their base but it does add up to $330B, that’s not small change. OTOH, had they added entitlements into their cuts you and I both know the accusations of “balancing the budget on the backs of the poor” would come raining down.
