The strangest thing and the paradox and irony of the entire issue is that apparently there is no need - and no one is proposing - to cut even a single dime. Simply a moderate decrease in the projected INCREASES may balance the budget in a few years.

The degree of demagoguery out there is disturbing.

Boehner needs to translate the language of the debate into what it really is. If he would simply explain that the fight is about whether to grow the government at 5% a year or at, say, 3.5% - people would understand. Instead he keeps talking about the "cuts" as if they were real. He who controls the language is likely to win the debate.
