I don't know if you guys read zerohedge much or not, but there is an article about our deficit over there and a very telling chart.

Scary- isn't it? The entire discressionary part of the budget is smaller than the total deficit. That is why I have been saying that you cannot balance the budget via cuts alone.

I wish I could run a business the way the Federal Government is run.

You can — then the Federal Government will bail you out with money it doesn't have.
