Cutting spending in the other 29% would not likely gain support.Perhaps if they really wanted to cut federal spending they could stop sending money to the states that get more federal dollars than they pay in. nearly all of them southern states. In most if not all years the state that pays in the most but gets the least is New Jersey.I suppose the cluckers could get their way and actually implement the heavy spending cuts they advocate. But, rest assured once they personally experienced the hardship and inconvenience that would result from those spending cuts they would be hollering the loudest. Why, while they demand spending cuts it's always the other guy who they want to have to deal with the unpleasant impact.</blockquote>
