are republicans serious about cutting spending?

No. The problem is that Republicans have been confusing themselves with Conservatives.

 

True dat!

 

yep. even obama cant bring himself to touch military spending. in his speech he talked about 87 billion in military cuts over ten years. thats 8.7 billion a year. we spend over 2 billion a week on current wars. he wants to cut 4 weeks of war spending a year? wtf. peanuts.
