A Deficit of Honest Discussion
No matter which party is in power, the other party thinks that the budget deficit is a vital issue. The party in power, generally, considers it a lower priority.
But, at least for the time being, the GOP has convinced enough voters the issue is critical. So now both parties are talking about how to reduce our country's deficit spending.
Of course nobody is proposing anything that will seriously make a dent at any time in the foreseeable future. Each proposal simply reflects the ideological priorities of the proposer, and suggests cutting programs they don't like.
Anybody can play that game. See how easy it is to trim the deficit by $100 billion.

Power makes people think on a different level than what the opposition or masses believe in!
