  • Sometimes you make soooo much sence to me. Thanks!

  • Ah, but the cuts wont start until budget year 2013, and by then the law requiring them will be repealed.

    Nothing gained, everything lost.

    By the way you forgot to mention 11/18/2011.

  • 11/18/2011 the latest continuing resolution expires and the government will shut down. I thought you guys read or listened to the news.

  • Roy: It was a shot at levity that missed.

  • No budget, no checks even for the military! This has nothing to do with the super committee. The super committee is the biggest con game in D.C.

  • I'm sure this has been posted before, but it's still interesting.

    Every other Senator and Representative elected to D.C. is, in effect, hiding behind the work of 12 dogmatists.

  • Everybody wants cuts but they want to keep their own pet-projects, their own entitlements and their own interests in mind.

    Democrats want cuts in Defense, but they don't want cuts in (UNconstitutional) entitlements.

    Republicans want cuts in entitlements but don't want cuts in Offense... I mean, Defense.

    The two parties are two arms of the big government party and purposefully obfuscate the truth, avert and delay responsibilities and conspire with one another to torment the middle class.

    "None of the above" should be included on all voting ballots to truly voice our opinion. Vote Libertarian, like I do, if you want the country to get back on its legs.

  • Jimms, please define what programs you see as entitlements. I totally agree with non of the above. 5-10 million votes for none of the above would get some attention.
