You didn't answer my question. You'd make a wonderful politician. Good for you.

I did answer your question. Yes, this is politics. Pointing out that politics is political is as insightful as pointing out that the Olympics is athletic.
The I balance my yada yada so government yada yada rhetoric is great at winning elections. But it's meaningless bullshit when it comes to actual governing. We've been hearing it for 30 years. Where are these famous spending cuts?
If you're going to talk about spending, you start with Medicare, Social Security and the military. Why? Because that's where the spending is.
So until we hear the tea party talk about major cuts to Medicare, Social Security and the military (don't hold your breath) I call bullshit. This is where the deficit comes from. Tax cuts are easy. The spending cuts never seem to follow. It's dishonest.
