The current budget debates like to talk about "the American family's" budget.
So, we have a family whose budget is horribly over income. They have:
- a huge house with an correspondingly large mortgage (military)
- 3 fancy cars with correspondingly high monthly payments (social security and medicare/caid)
- and they like to eat out once a week (other discretionary spending)
The Republican response is to cut the dinner down from a fine dining establishment to fast food.
Ok. So this is going to make a tiny difference, but is it really the place to focus one's efforts?
