We could start by zeroing out federal subsidies to National Public Radio.

There are only two choices right now: you vote for obama and hope the dems pull together a budget that the republicans won't vote against, or you vote for romney and know that he will allow the rich to get richer and the poor to get more poor. that's what tax cuts for the rich and spending cuts for the poor mean. Both parties are irresponsible, but one seems to me to be just about evil right now, and that's not the left

"the poor to get more poor".
** 47% of US pay no Fed income tax now & U6 (unemployment) is at 15%. Obama ran against phantom Bush in 08 but now he has to run against his own dismal record...

How bad to you want it to go?

The real question is: Whose going to manage our Federal Spending like an adult? Dems are in a tough spot right now. How do you battle Ryan's detailed plan without shining the light on the Democratic ineptness? Love me some Crazy Joe...
