Jerry Pournelle:

We just spent $9 Trillion we didn’t have, but we will make a $1.1 Trillion cut – over ten years.  Which is to say we will cut $100 Billion a year, having spent $9 Trillion.  The deficit will continue to grow...  Inspectors in the Department of Agriculture will continue to get "cost of living” raises and step increases in their civil service ratings.  Department of Education SWAT teams will get their raises including full health and pensions...  The EPA will continue to impose regulations, the courts will continue to accept lawsuits to harass anyone who intends to open a mine, drill an oil well, or create a business.

The only remedy will be to raise taxes.  We must have shared sacrifices so that the Washington elites can go about business as usual...

In other words, the Dance goes on...
