I think in a way the cuts that we are going to be talking about this week, while they are not going to fix the overall problem of the fact that entitlements are out of control, I think that there are some things that they will do. And I think that what they will do is to maybe deal with some of that redtape. Because if you cut some of these agencies that are producing all that load of bureaucracy and redtape and all kinds of extra overhead, as you start to reduce that, it is like taking weight off of a runner; they are going to run faster. The economy will run better. And some of those cuts are probably Draconian in many people's eyes, and probably some of them are counterproductive. But, overall, you know you have got to trim up. So that is what we're going to be talking about doing. We are going to be kind of working it from both ways. We are going to have to cut the Federal spending, but we're also going to have to create an overall policy in terms of policies, that is redtape, and limit the amount of redtape, and the tax cuts to basically create a pro-business environment. When you do that, the revenue is going to grow, the size of the government is going to shrink, and you will start to see the shift come back to normal and America will start moving forward again.
