We certainly aren't going to cut a trillion even though we increase spending by a trillion. And we find out last week from the Obama OMB that there is $687 billion sitting in accounts that's been appropriated. It's unobligated. It's unspent, sitting there, and they're still demanding more and more money. America can't afford it. It's time to claw back the money before it's spent on other Solyndras and to give us a budget at the other end of the building. ____________________
