I get the hate over the lack of cuts. They could probably do more. Keep in mind though, each dollar they cut ends up coming out of the pockets of real people anyway. The money cut is coming out of salaries and whole jobs, grants that would have brought jobs, and keeping people healthy enough to stay employed. We could wipe out most of the funding to every social service and it wouldn't matter much to the overall deficit.
Military, social security, unemployment, and medicare. Those make up nearly 70% of the governments expenditures. Those are the only places that cuts will be worth a damn. Cuts in those areas will never happen. Doesn't matter who's the president, who controls the senate.
