m:  Ah, I see, the classic word play!  That is one way to view it but I have a different perspective.  I don't think we can keep spending and spending, after all we are 21+ trillion in debt already.  So to balance the high demands of our welfare system what would you cut?  And you also know that reducing Medicaid and the proposed tax cuts are not directly linked.  Or should we just keep spending?  Besides that you well know there aren't going to be any tax cuts.
