The Democrats are at $26B and the Republicans are $100B. There must be compromise. I say split the difference with no exclusions and get on with the business of governing. That's a 3.3% across the board cut. I have never seen a business or governmental body that couldn't absorb 3.3% cut.
Even the 100 Billion will not solve the problem, it is only a start.
I read in the paper today that the GOP has given up (already) on the $100 billion for FY 2011. The new target number? Thir-ty......bil-lion.....dollars!!! That's right folks, $30 billion or ONE THIRTIETH of the projected 2011 budget DEFICIT. Holly smokes, what a cutting extravaganza! Of course the article confirmed that no cuts will come from the pentagon, security, policing, spying, war, (non-existent) terrorist defense. The cuts will probably come from silly agencies like education and health/human resources.
