Cutting both are good. I'm just pointing out hypocrisy.I don't think Republicans are criticizing the general idea of budget cuts. lol.They downplay the efforts based on the argument that it's small compared to the size of the overall Budget, yet they cry endlessly about Pork barrel spending which..also is small in size compared to the overall Budget.Quote from: truste1 on April 20, 2009, 08:59:54 pm@CrAz3D: The best way to avoid complaints of bias is to use news sources with a liberal bias, obviously. NPR is a good choice.Liberal bias is also known as reality.

Agreed. We could cut a lot more in addition to the pork barrel. Like welfare.
