For a fair and balanced approach (I think Obama said fair and balanced) they need to cut Government wages to be on par with non government wages. They also need to start having government employees put in their fair share to benefits given that is on par with non government employees.
Government employees earn about 22% more in wages plus they have a golden benefit package.

That is one way to cut federal spending. A balanced approach.

I think when he said fair and balanced he meant EVERYBODY's taxes are going up.
Because that's what's happening right now, all of his promises to the contrary notwithstanding.

No amount of pixy dust is going to get us out of the predicament that we are now in...but complaining will not solve anything. But there are two things that are constant, that is, death and taxes.

How original!
Did you think of that!
STFU lilspanky.

Bite me!
