Why cuts everywhere, regardless of budget, is lunacy

[TaraJo]

Yeah, in all honesty, I'm convinced that not only do they not really object to the government spending too much, they're mor than willing to piss money away all day as long as it's for one of their own projects. For example, there's DOMA. Democrats don't want it; support for same sex marriage is damn near universal within the Democratic party. Cutting funding to the defense of DOMA would get through the Democrats in congress easily, the President wouldn't mind a bit and, hey, if the public really considers the issue to be that important, the Republican economic theory is that the private sector can take over, right? Let the private sector handle the legal bills to the defense of DOMA.

Turns out, the GOP had other ideas in mind. That's another 3 million Boehner is wasting, trying to screw over more gay people. He's spending that money while he's chastising Democrats for not cutting spending. Shouldn't be too surprising, though; they had majority control of both houses of congress for a while and they had Bush in the white house. What did they do? Start two wars with no exit strategy, fail to pay for them, and deal with every problem by giving rich people tax cuts.
