I think this is an excellent plan. I loved it when Connie Mack proposed some time back and couldn't understand why everybody wasn't embracing it. But in Washington, even a slowdown in growth is considered a "drastic cut" so any serious consideration of a real cut doesn't get very far. I applaud the efforts of these conservative senators and hope they will stick to it and perhaps we can start to feel somewhat confident that there is hope for sanity after all.
