Big time sacrifice this ain't...

So what do you think about this pending "mammoth" sacrifice (the so-called Super Committee's charge of $1.2 trillion in spending cuts over the next decade)? Listening to the spenders, you'd think we're facing 10 years of gut-wrenching austerity...But they're only talking $1.2 trillion out of a budget estimated to increase our debt by $10.2 trillion...

So while they'd have us believe the deadlock is over how to manage less spending, what they're killing (let's pray) their careers over is how to stem the projected spending/debt increase by a paltry 10%...

It's like the spendthrift consumersaying, "instead of running up my credit cards by another $50,000, I'm going to sacrifice big time and only spend $45,000 I don't have..."
