Sure it has a tide.  It's not as noticeable as the ocean, but it has a
tide.

Actually, what both the president and the Congress are calling for is a
reduction in the overspending, not a cut.  If I decide my personal
budget is going to be $1,000,000 but then realize my income is nowhere
near enough and I cut that budget to $500,000, have I really cut
anything?

And we'd still see trillion dollar deficits.  The wars aren't causing
it; entitlement spending is causing trillion of dollars in deficits.
Anyone want to cut that?

To make this even remotely related to Linux, I had an xorg crash today.
I clicked on a program and x dropped out completely.  That hasn't
happened in forever.  And that makes me happy.  :-)
