Our government is so inefficient and stagnant that percentage cuts across the board are the best it can do. Can you imagine what it would be like if Congress had to through each section of the budget and agree on how much to cut?

(BTW, I'm not saying we should be thankful. I just mean that expecting them to be efficient and constructive is like expecting to win a NASCAR race with a tricycle.)

Ah,, yeah..... like this, FNM?

http://apnews.excite.com/article/2013011...BRE03.html

Quote:WASHINGTON (AP) - House conservatives opposed to more deficit spending tried Monday to chip away at the $50.7 billion Superstorm Sandy aid package by requiring offsetting spending cuts to pay for recovery efforts and by stripping money for projects they say are unrelated to the Oct. 29 storm or not urgently needed.

Someone should remind those southern shits that the Gulf gets hit with a lot more hurricanes than the North East. And tornadoes. And floods.

As long as you have this attitude of continous economic growth being the most important aspect you will always get this attitude from governments of 'where can we cut' rather than 'lets improve quality of life and see what we can give' ....

Funny thing I read (admittedly a news article) was that the IMF and World Bank got the whole Government cost cutting wrong.

Yes, over spending is not helpful, but then under-spending is worse.

There is too much artifice in your elegant simplicity, to win this one.
