Dean said what? The proverbial message here is that neither Dean nor Gregg are running for office, so there is no risk from either of them when it comes to expressing their opinions. It’s refreshing to read, but nothing close to the combativeness that would ensue if either was still in their political roles. Glad to see their egos have shrunk along with their political lives.
Let’s see, we have $16.5 trillion in debt. We have an ANNUAL deficit of around $1.2 trillion. That means EVERY YEAR we’re adding another $1.2 trillion to that debt. And we’re debating whether the $85 billion sequester is too much or not enough. If the sequester goes through, that reduces the ANNUAL deficit to around $1.115 trillion. That means we will still be spending $1.115 trillion more than were taking in EVERY YEAR. And we’re debating if this sequester is TOO MUCH? It is clearly not too much. It is not nearly enough. Ten times $85 billion is not enough as we will still have large deficits. That all being said, one side of the political spectrum either doesn’t understand basic math or care if the government spends itself into bankruptcy. Pretty clear. At least for those with a brain.

Judd who? Honestly, it took me two or three reads not to see “Judge Dredd”!
