I just told my Congressman that instead of my contemplated $100 increase to my campaign donation, I will scale it back to $1.60. In other words, he should adjust his budgetary aspirations by an insignificant amount.
That is the scale of the proposed $61 billion cut to Obama’s 43.69 trillion budget. Insignificant.
If the GOP does not start thinking in terms of $500 billion or more for budget cuts, I am thinking that last year’s Tea Party will only be a pale reflection of the unhappiness of the electorate to come.
