hummmm....sounds kind of visceral to me.....
I prefer a point to discuss; so, do you think say, 60 billion dollars is to much to cut from the rest of the years budget?
Do you have a counter offer?
Do you know how much we are borrowing each and every day?
yes... i do know. which is why is was such an absurd move to continue the bush tax cuts.
also, the cuts they're making all target the middle class. none of it targets corporations and the wealthy. (and no, i'm not interested in hearing them called job creators because if they were job creators, the tax cuts, which have been in effect for more than 10 years, would already have worked).
to me the drumbeat of the freshmen is to do exactly what was said years ago... starve government until you can drown it in a bathtub.
until you have a dialogue about military spending, we are going to run on deficits. i also don't think it's appropriate to cut budgets and taxes in the face of a fragile recovery. i also think it's clear that there's an agenda there, because it helps the repubs in 2012 if unemployment is still high.
does that make me a cynic? i don't know. i think it makes me a realist.
and visceral? maybe.
