I just want to point out that after reading the thread where MNG says it would be a good idea to take someone working 60 hours/week to job share with another person (each now working 30 hours/week is really just a form of forced theft. Or as Obama said to Joe the Plumber "spread(ing) the wealth around.

What a socialist cunt.

Yes, Americans primarily want to cut spending. However, it is only a minority that want to reduce deficits solely by way of spending cuts.

It's almost as if you didn't RTFA

The implication is that cutting spending is the priority. Which...everybody already knew. That's not news. What is news is that a majority of Americans want those spending cuts to come in conjunction with a revenue increase, which is vehemently opposed by congressional Republicans. On this issue Democrats are not out-of-sync with public opinion; Republicans are.

Ekins is way hotter than Ekans.
