What's new is that we are finding out about all at the same time. What's good is that people are really getting focused on this, and they are getting very upset. The big news will come if and when the people start fighting back and government starts shrinking. I think it's almost inevitable.

That would be the two man wrecking crew that could limit size and scope of government! Plus the progressives couldn’t argue with them as they would tear the progressives to shreds in a debate.W.E.

He's still pretending not to see an overall diff between Republicans and Dems, however. <br /><br /><br />We could make a serious dent in the deficit by cutting federal employees and outlawing unions in the public sector.
