Robbing Peter to pay for Paul is pathetically limp wristed pale pastels.

And I believe if not for the Civil Service Comm in the Constitution, we would have cut significantly more...however, the fairness of treating all income the same seems to be right even with more cuts...we would (and will) have just had broadbased cuts.  Again, we've been at this four months...and we have a system that has been bailed out in the billions time and time again.  To fill the $1.4B structural deficit with real (not one-time, voodoo accounting) cuts is...well, I think the liberal critics are not hard to find.  We're cutting alright...its just too bad some fall to the kind of 1/2 truths that was sited above...and not acknowledging the obvious - that not only was a huge, undealt-with-for-years spending problem handled without a tax increase, but that a real net tax cut occurred on top of it.
