The ones the Republicans have planned on from Day One- the only pot of money big enough to affect matters- Social Security and Medicare. And it will happen while inflation is raging, savaging seniors. “What cuts do we make if Congress cannot borrow money?”

How much debt can the government accumulate before the creditors say "enough"? What cuts do we make if Congress cannot borrow money? But at the rate of cash burn, Iraq is an economic issue as well.

Funny, after one year, I hate the democrats almost as much as I hate the GOP. If politicians are analgous to tools, and not in the pejorative sense, then we've gotta go back to hardware store.

Maybe the word "Republican" is interchangeable with another political party-- one much closer to home. Or, maybe it's just practical politics for some senior Democratic officials to play to the emotions of their base in order to maintain power.
