Oh the snow jobs are on all sides... I remember people thinking we could balance the budget by eliminating foreign aid (a miniscule portion of expenditures). There were cries about welfare spending from Republicans and defense increases from Democrats (and in the 80s both cases were wrong). I've heard Democrats blame Reagan for closing state hospitals in Massachusetts when it was Dukakis who did it years before Reagan came to D.C. Today Republicans think that cutting a few million from the CPB helps while ignoring cuts that the Air Force wants to voluntarily make. The Democrats, on the other hand, can't make up their mind from minute to minute WHAT they want to do.


A person is smart. "People" are dumb.
