Although, at the present moment, the repubs appear to accept the concept that spending is too great, and must be trimmed, I believe that the GOP leadership is playing politics, too. The roles could easily be reversed between repubs and dems. Tea Party people, for all their faults have made this their issue since their inception.
Has anyone addressed why the President totally ignored the recommendations of his own Blue Ribbon Budget Commission?
