Right before classic posted I thought I had found an independent analysis then at the bottom of the page the reporter was forced to post his business affiliation and comments asserting to the fact it wasn't an independent evaluation.
I will continue to look and try to 'vote my conscience'.
Thank you both and sam for your helpful responses. It helps to hash it out sometimes.

Or cut services.
There are few other options.

Thanks! that's the nitty gritty of it huh? When you get past the talk there is only this one issue and that is to balance the budget and it will be balanced.
