why don't they trim homeland security and of course the war in afrganistan...i mean really people need social security and medicare.


Yup. This won't be popular. But it's just a commission. If this actually went through I think we might see a primary challenge in 2012.


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
