Progressives have OPENLY opposed the constantly growing government waste and spending, yet we never have our demands met with seriousness. Obama, whom some claim to be a progressive, didnt even CONSIDER putting military spending on the table to even suggest cutting it back. Anyone who suggest military cut back in a position of authority will more than likely eat a bullet in their brain. Anyone suggesting the shutting down of the CIA or DEA or FBI will find themselves as worm food as well.
So naturally they go after things that arent as mortally risky. Education, sociali security, elderly, poor children...it FUCKING DISGUSTS ME!

It's never been about the deficit.
If it was, we'd see both defense spending and the tax cuts for the top 2% on the table.
THANKYOU. The teabaggers rode the wave against the deficit right back into business as usual in DC.
