MM, my understanding is that appropriations are the realm of the House. If so, they can start that first Monday in January, without waiting for the Senate majority. That said, those moves would produce some pain across the board. It takes leaders, and leadership, to generate buy in to these reforms, someone(s) capable of convincing the dullards that our current path is absolutely unsustainable, that these measures, and others necessary, will in a very short time return our great nation to a land of virtually unlimited opportunity. Of course, medicare beneficiaries will holler as the prescription drug benefit is rolled back, non retired social security receipients will raise cain because their personality disorders will no longer qualify them for a disability check, multi generational subsidized families will threaten to riot as limits are placed on housing food and medical care, starving artists will wail, social engineers masquerading as educators will forecast death and destruction, can't predict what the street car drivers will do as mass transit and Amtrak must become self sustaining. Then, a real test for the leadership, and this must be said -- Veterans Benefits. First, root out the blatant fraud and corruption to establish real cost, then initiate programs to get the cost, and forecast growth in cost, under control. When this list is checked off, we will be spending the same dollars, at the federal level, as were spent in 2004. That is not only sustainable, we could, within 9.5 years, retire the $14 trillion dollar defecit
