Did You Know that the Republicans continued attempts at deficit cutting are getting increasingly pathetic.  From the Yahoo:

GOP 2012 Budget to Make $4 Trillion-Plus in Cuts

The head of the House Budget Committee, Rep. Paul Ryan, says President Barack Obama is "punting on the budget and not doing a thing to prevent a debt crisis."
Ryan tells "Fox News Sunday" that GOP budget-writers are looking at cutting $4 trillion-plus in spending over the next decade. That's more than even what the president's deficit commission recommended.
