I am really unsure where everyone is going with this.  For the people supporting the cuts, I really hope that no one in your family, or any of your friends, require the supprt of government funded aid through programs instituted to facilitate this assistance.  For the Dems, the party has long deviated from being the one that represents the "everyman" to that which is supported by an elite segment of society with little connection to a majority of this country.  One thing is certain, and is not touched upon...where have we gone wrong as a nation that our only solution is to channel more money into a burgeoning military?  You only do this if you seek war.
