Some Serious Blubber
How hideous has runaway federal spending of all kinds gotten that that old standby, "waste, fraud, and abuse" has now actually gotten into TWELVE figures?
Will getting rid of all this duplicativity provide cover for Dems who want to look like fiscal hawks - if there are any - while seeking to keep entitlement reform off-limits - which is pretty much all of them? Probably. Hence this exit quote from Eeyore: "...unless the public understands that the only path to solvency is through entitlement reform, we’re never going to get there. Do it first, do it now, or you may never build a critical mass to do it at all."
