re: OTOH I am encouraged to see support for cuts in governments from the liberal side.

If you had said "Democratic" side I think you would have been more accurate. At any rate, you haven't been listening. The Dems have been yelling about the budget for years... but had no control.

Remember this from the Clinton speech I posted to you:

Since I took office, we have cut the federal deficit nearly in half. It is important that the people of the United States know that the United States now has proportionately the lowest government budget deficit of any large industrial nation. We have eliminated 200,000 positions from the federal bureaucracy since I took office. Our federal government is now the smallest percentage of the civilian work force it has been since 1933, before the New Deal. We have made enormous progress, and now we must finish the job.

He was a Dem, and the trend was to take the budget very seriously. That changed in 2001. The Neoconservatives have always been more liberal than the Democrats.
