If any of y'all listen to David Webb, he had a parade of Congress Critters on this morning. They're currently working in Florida and the deficit hawks are flying. They've been told Social Security and Medicare are off the table, but to take a torch to any fat they can find. Wasteful programs, duplicate programs at separate agencies, layoffs, reallocation of resources, clawbacks of funds not spent...The goal is $2T/yr.
