I was watching Rep. Massey, the only Republican to vote no on the budget, explain why he is a "no." I don't agree with his politics at all but it is good to see someone at least tell the real story from the side of the isle. He points out the increased deficits for the first five years, and it only claims to stop the increase if there is both 2.5% growth every year in receipts as well as discretionary spending is frozen. He said he has seen that promised in every budget, and it has never happened. It is like an NFL contract, anything beyond three years is complete fiction. Taking away services while rapidly increasing the national debt is just insane.
