Red State Wet Dreams Can't Stand Up To The Light Of Day

Republicans want to reduce government spending without raising taxes. It's OK with me if they do. I'd welcome it. The overwhelming majority of spending comes from three things. The military, including the cost of the Middle Eastern wars. Entitlements, for the old, sick, poor and education. Finally and most expensive of all, huge numbers of redundant government employees with bloated salaries, benefits and retirement, that nobody else gets. Does anybody out there dispute this? They're never going to cut any of this stuff and the people that get it always want more. This spending, fueled by huge deficits power what's left of our economy. Cut it and the house of cards collapses. Virtually every voting member of society either is or aspires to be a recipient of this spending.
