[Bleeeeep!] Hank, you could have just read my posts from 2003 when I was going off about our terrible idea and the even worse execution of it.

Back to Dave's point, this stuff is infuriating. "Everyone" wants to stop waste but only OTHER PEOPLE's waste. I'm also sick of things like allowing the sequester to pass and then undoing it in a piecemeal fashion to shut up the loudest whiners. The whole POINT of it is that everyone will have to deal with the reality of the situation and it is leveled across the board.

Except when it isn't.
