These are the default budget cuts required by law, and the only way they won't occur is if Congress agrees to do something else. We're talking about up to $1.2 Trillion in cuts through 2021. Brought to you by the Democrats (and Republicans.)
How does this simple fact fit in your delusional worldview? Is it like a square peg trying to fit into a round hole?

Ha! What fun!
These are cuts, which if they are activated, will be cuts in PROJECTED and /or FUTURE spending. NOTHING HAS BEEN CUT FROM CURRENT SPENDING YET!
NOT ONE PENNEY!
These are the sad facts - always a trial for liberals to look at, but give it a try.
Do you see any reduction in our National Debt projections?
NO.
Do you notice any reduction in our National Deficit projections? Yes. That means we'll have higher tax revenues - and if it happens, it won't just be on the rich. They don't have THAT much money.
True, it MIGHT be reduced, but all it seems we'll have right now, is a slower growth to our National Debt.
And despite all the hot air and hand waving going on in Washington, (where Today, the Speaker of the House said there was no progress in the negotiations with the White House, because the White House has never negotiated on any issue, so far.)
I hope this fiscal cliff actually works, when and if we get to that point.
Politicians LOVE to spend our money. It buys them votes, by attracting donors to their campaigns, when they do it. Not just the Democrats, either. EVERY politician wants to be re-elected several times, and they need to curry favor to get their campaign coffers $stu$$ed$ to overflowing.
It's not THEIR money, why NOT use it to help themselves get re-elected?

"Sure, here's a few million for ya!"
"You want a new airport?" "Absolutely! We'll call it an anti terrorist auxiliary civil defense resource!"
Lovely!
I am writing about ACTUAL cuts in CURRENT spending, not something projected, like Wimpy's repayment on his hamburgers, "Next Tuesday".
And right now, there has been $0.00 dollars cut in actual spending.
NOT ONE PENNEY!
