To think you would be able to cut that much spending in a few years is just silly, and quite frankly, irresponsible, considering cuts of that nature would lead to more job losses &#8211;  government jobs ARE jobs too &#8211; which would lead to more unemployment AND more people collecting unemployment, which you hate. History shows us that when you have a large chunk of of government workers enter the unemployed status, either layoffs of government contractors caused by the end of the Cold War, or the end of a war when soldiers come home from the front &#8211; soldiers ARE Government employees too &#8211; you pretty much Always fall into recession in those transition years. We really don&#8217;t need any more recessionary pressures than we have now, thank you very much!<\/p>\n<p>Have to go to work now, which means I&#8217;ll be listening to a bit of talk radio.  It&#8217;s probably too early to do the &#8220;take a shot every time a talking head says the phrase &#8216;the adults in the room'&#8221; game. Plus, I&#8217;ll be driving, so that really would be a bad idea&#8230; And not something an adult would do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"StumbleUpon\",\"Digg\",\"Reddit\",\"Bebo\",\"Delicious\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Meme%20Alert%21%20%20-%20%20%22The%20Adults%20in%20the%20Room%22\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div><p>It&#8217;s here.
