again I can not completely disagree with you. I've questioned whether the Republicnas would have the stones to stand firm and require significant spending cuts on all of the give away programs. Start with the free cell phones and continue to the life long benefits such as Medicaid, Food Stamps, and Section 8. Even Clinton was shot down, during his first year in office, when he proposed a 2 year limitation for the programs. And he was a Democrat with a Democratic Congress.
