Bush Proposes Steep Cuts in $2.57T Budget

Check out THIS story about the President's proposed budget. Steep cuts? HA! All this 'belt-tightening' only impacts maybe 15% of the total budget. Everything else is pretty much automatic defense spending and entitlements... I knew the lefties would cry foul, no matter how small spending reductions are, but come on!
Maybe someday we'll actually reduce the entitlements themselves. I don't remember reading anything in the Constitution about you having a right to a government-guaranteed retirement, an education, or money stolen from fellow taxpayers to subsidize your business...

So many people want something for nothing and don't realize that their demands would be much cheaper if they just paid for them in the first place.
