Well that graph is bullshite because the vast majority of that spending is paid for by tax revenues. Secondly, we were told that out of the 800 billion stimulus that the 535 million lost in solyndra was a lot of money.

Now you are saying that out of the 900 billion dollar deficit, the 85 billion (this year alone!) that will be cut from the budget is insignificant. That is conservative hypocrisy at its extreme.

Changing allocations would be preferable to a certain extent, but in the grand scheme of things that is like moving the deck chairs on the titanic. You will be getting 85 billion in cuts either way while the economy is going through sluggish growth.

Anyhow, I thought that the conservative message was that the sequester cuts were all Obama's idea? So does Obama want to cut government or "grow government"? You guys need to get your story straight.
