I've been watching for a post that simplifies that topic. Haven't seen it so far.

I hope some will chip in and give their ideas. Here's mine:

The Dems won't offer ANY Spending Cuts because it will radically increase UnEmployment Number, with no possibility of alternate jobs available for unemployable government "people".

The Repubs are offering good serious program cuts, which will increase the UnEmployment radically while Obama is in. And the Dems Know it.

We all know there has been substantial gov't employment increase under both Bush AND Obama. It was compensation for off-shoring.

They won't cut spending for the same reason Amy didn't stop using cocaine.

I'm all for government spending as long as it's spent on me.

A few billion will suffice.

Don't forget the "stimulus" money by and large went to support union employees of all type on an On-Going basis. Now the "On-Going" is over.

The chart shows the changes in government employment in these time periods.

Growth in Government Employment

The 1990s were a decade of rapid private sector expansion and federal government restraint. The 2000s are a decade of government expansion at all levels and private sector retrenchment.

From 1990 to 2000, private sector employment soared 21 percent. Then, remarkably, private sector employment actually fell during the 2000s and was 3 percent lower in 2010 than it was in 2000.

The chart shows the changes in government employment in these time periods.

(Note: Numbers are for January of each year for consistency and to avoid the inclusion of temporary federal decennial census workers that show up in later months.)

Federal employment declined during the 1990s, when we mainly had Clinton in the White House and Republican control of Congress. However, federal employment increased under the Bush administration and the Obama administration is pursuing further growth. As a Cato essay on overpaid federal employees shows, growth in federal employment will cost taxpayers billions of dollars.

All I know to do is trade paper promises for silver and gold.

Plenty of lead, and I don't believe people will easily give up their PM's this time.
