I’m saying that having someone shout “I’d cut spending” by itself seems like a buzzword to me unless you have actual information on what they want to decrease the spending on.

That seem fair to you?

1/2 the time when they say “we’re going to cut spending” you’re right, they don’t mean any such thing. They mean they’re going to cut the rate of growth. Indiana is actually cutting spending, we’re spending less this year than we did last year because we have to. The rest of the states that took all that stimulus money as a short-term fix to cover their public employee sector are going to be screwed next year and somehow we’ll all be asked to chip in again to cover their losses.
