I see that "both sides" agree that the deficit is a horrible, horrible thing and that everyone needs to make cuts and tighten their belts and make sacrifices.

I know it doesn't sound or seem like that would make sense, but hey I see both sides on my tv telling me that it's true so.....what kind of crazy person would disagree with something that both sides agree on?
