This is my issue, cuts need to be made, but where they really need to be made is not where the GOP wants to make them. Where they want to cut is very unpopular to do so, and so what they are doing with this bill is setting up a scenario in which they will have to make those cuts. But, we will be unable to cut deep enough to really turn things around without a revenue increase. We need to be cutting spending and increasing taxes, right now. But that's an unpopular situation for a politician.
