Good. I hate to say it but there are lot of good programs that are going to get cuts. I don't there are too many programs, that are totally worthless. Some may be unnecessary to some folks, and others to others, but at the end of the day I am sure most are good, and helping good people.
The sad things is that those statements are meaningless. The simple fact is that the government is not taking in enough money to cover its obligations. There are two options: raise taxes or cut spending. Raising taxes hurts our ability to come out of the recession that is technically over, but certainly it lowers growth. That means cuts. I don't care how we do it, but things need to be cut. Cut X % across the board, fine, selectively cut less important programs and possibly hurt fewer folks, fine. Either way, it must be done.
