The electorate "spoke" in the 2010 elections. We want fiscal conservatism. We want a balanced budget. We want less debt.

The Republicans campaigned on those principles. The Tea Party in particular espoused those values. Something like 70 new Congressmen were elected. The Republicans took control.

So what do we have now? Has anyone suggested meaningful fiscal reforms? Has anyone proposed cuts to Social Security, Medicare or Defense, without which the budget CANNOT be balanced?

No, not a peep from any of them. The only comprehensive budget proposal cuts infrastructure and raises taxes but doesn't touch the "biggies". It looks like we've been duped once again!
