I'm afraid I don't see your point Ralphy? We should not end all the various Federal programs without serious consideration given to each one, THAT was my point. Always has been.
However, my views are wide ranging and don't follow a particular party. Being an independant thinker I make a rational choice on what to support, or not. I guess that could be interpreted as "playing both sides". You'll find me in the middle aisle, looking for my seat. I'm the guy scratching his head...
I do see Cobrabill's pointed point though.
Indeed Tom, I too doubt that it will pass because there is NO WAY the politicians will be able to resist "tinkering" with it again!
