First, you display some actual leadership for a change. It's past time to get aggressive with addressing the national debt and spell out some real savings here.

This laughable $1.5-trillion over ten year target is like shooting rubber BB's at a freight train, it won't make any difference.

And with the democrats taking their marbles and going home, someone needs to step up.

There are recommendation out there. Jason ticked off a number of them above. There are a few more here. Gov. Perry even made another one recently by zeroing out foreign <strike>welfare</strike> aid.

On a side note, I personally love that last one because of the maalox moment it gave the Levin Boys when I asked each of them where they had the authority to give out so much money to other countries when we could use it more here.

I've yet to get a good response.

Or (and what I'm actually betting money will really happen), for fear of P.O.'ing the entitlement crowd, Camp & Upton will sit on their hands and let the "Grand Bargain" (read: Faustian Deal) take effect.

Sorry True Believers, if you hitched your wagons to the republican party expecting them to act fiscally responsible, you've made the wrong choice with these two.

Which in the end is what the progressives want.

The media will grab and run with that story harder than they did with the Cain sexual harassment shakedown artists they haven't really gotten any traction out of to make Pres. B.O. look...presidential.
