Reply #8: I like that flexible part

[sandnsea]

Is there an article that addresses that specifically? Between that and the huge increases so many departments already got, this is a great way to force the Departments to justify their programs rather than risk keeping junk because it's easier than taking the heat for cutting something.

I am concerned about them messing around in social security and medicare, although I'd rather these guys do it than McCain. I suspect we will end up losing though, because that's the way it always happens with these programs.
