Ironic, but alas -
My argument wasn't BASED upon that premise. It was based upon the premise that such a statement would IMPLY. Now, technically speaking, even if there are a miniscule amount of programs cut (which would make that statement wrong), how does that invalidate the premise that the government needs to examine and cut redundant programs?
Oh wait - that's right: you're more interested in that playground crap you're ironically railing about than the actual discussion at hand. Gotcha.
