Go, go, GOP

The Republicans in the House of Representatives have proposed over $2.5 trillion dollars in spending cuts over the next decade. Amtrak, the Legal Services Corporation, and of the tyranny which is the health care bill, would be gone. The Federal workforce would but cut by 15% through attrition, and the National Endowment for the Arts would be gone.

Let's hope they mean it. The GOP must set itself apart from the liberal Democrats and actually do what they say they will. Much of it may not get done this term, what with the bad guys in control of the Senate and current President more than willing to obstruct the will of the people.

The fact is that the federal government has way overstepped its bounds in the last century and requires sharp and severe cuts. Washington has absolutely no place in the arts, and no one rides the train anymore. Further, we must never forget that worthwhile endeavors get private support enough to carry themselves. True art will find its way with the people who care about it.

The time is now. Sharpen that meat cleaver and bar no holds. It is what we need in order to have a full economic recovery.
