Now, are the politicians AND the US Citizens ( inckuding the baggers ) ready to slash into :

- DOD
- Various wars that are not on the books ( on drugs, on gays, etc ... )
- Unemployment payments for those that should not receive them ( they are out of work because they left the job, were bad employees - late, bad attitude, .. - , are chronic abusers of the system )
- subsidies to various undeserving groups or again companies

and you can go on ...

Naturally, the Bush tax cuts should have been expired , but your president needs to grow a pair ...
