That search should start, Cantor said, with a list of GOP proposals that would save $715 billion over the next decade by ending payments to wealthy farmers, limiting lawsuits against doctors, and expanding government auctions of broadcast spectrum to telecommunications companies, among other items.

They really are incorrigible aren't they?

Ending payments to wealthy farmers I can get behind.

Limiting lawsuits? That's the insurance companies talking again. How does limiting lawsuits against doctors affect the federal budget?

I suppose broadcast auctions could bring in some revenue, but I can't believe it would be much in the scheme of things, especially when you consider that whatever the Republican plan is for those auctions it was likely written by the telecommunications companies.
