One thing worthly firmly understanding-->the new congressional class is basically promising to cut the deficit by $100 billion...they'll trim the deficit from about ~$1.2 trillion to ~$1.1 trillion...if they get EVERYTHING they want.
To plagiarize some blogger I read a while back, it's like we're driving 100 mph and headed straight for a cliff. The *historic* tea party congress is effectively promising to reduce our speed to 94 mph.
