The problem with the current crop of politicians (and their fMSM allies) is that they shriek in horror at the thought of NOT INCREASING every line item of spending. They use their bully pulpit to decry keeping spending static. They call it a cut. When your expenses are too high in a month do you say to yourself that not spending 10% more than last month is a cut to your lifestyle? If you do then you are just as childish as a typical democrat politician. As long as democrats insist on dishonest communication nothing can be done allied with then. As long as the leftist media enables their dishonest communications nothing can be done with them. The best hope for solving the problem is for Republicans to gain majority in both halves of Congress and for Romney to be President. He then needs to take as bold of steps as Pelosi did when she rammed through Obama/PelosiCare saying we don't need to read it or know what is in it to know it is what we want. Republicans need to bite the bullet and as s second or third order of business move the budget to 2007 levels or less. Any movement in that direction would be an improvement. Obviously the first order of business needs to be to rip Obama/PelosiCare out by its roots. The second order needs to be to pass sensible tax reform. The third needs to be to enact budget reforms. We don't have to have perfection. Any incremental improvement would be a welcome sign. Some adult leadership beats the childishness that has been the hallmark of the Obama rein. How can Harry Reid look himself in the mirror with despising the revolting creature staring back at him? Did he have all mirrors removed from the Capitol building so he could exist there?
