Some dimwit Republicans still don't get it:
Here's the problem that Hing and too many House Republicans still don't seem to understand: When the deficit is more than a trillion dollars a year, comparatively modest spending cuts are nothing to boast about. They might as well be shooting BBs at a charging elephant.
At least one GOP member of the Rogers panel understands this reality. Rep. Jack Kingston of Georgia told Hewitt on his radio show this week that "right now, frankly, in my opinion, we're not cutting anything serious. It's earmark money, it's duplication money."
I suspect that what really grinds Hewitt's critics is his observation that "in this age of new media, instant messaging and Twitter, Tea Party activists across the country have already figured out their No. 1 opponents are not Democrats but GOP appropriators."
Those who don't make a real effort at serious spending cuts are no better than those who approved the spending and don't deserve to keep their jobs.
