Eventually, Republicans said they’d start by cutting $100 billion out of the 2011 budget. The media were aghast. Liberals wailed about “draconian” cuts. They live in an alternate universe. Congress was planning to spend almost $4 trillion; $100 billion is less than 3 percent of that. Firms in the private sector make bigger cuts all the time without blinking an eye. Good wording. A subtle point often missed.
