Well, at least the cards are out on the table. No one actually wants to reduce spending. The Republicans think the President's crazy. They're about as willing to touch the budget as Ted Kennedy is to save a drowning woman from his car. The Democrats gave it a try for a year or so, but now that the budget calls for cuts in growth (not actual cuts, just cuts in growth) they're running away from the label of the "Party of Fiscal Responsibility" faster than Jesse Jackson can claim racism when a black woman is placed in the highest post yet achieved by a minority in the government.
Yes, pork is popular again. Everyone was happy to lay it at the feet of the President. A month ago, he was a reckless spender who wanted to inflate the government. Now that he wants to cut the budget growth, he's a uncaring meanie who wants to oppress the poor and the minorities with cruel spending cuts. Oh the humanity!
