I am one of those conservatives (not a Republican, but will only vote Republican, never Dem or Indy) - having said that your piece (as is often the case) is spot-on, ("Take it the bank and deposit it. It is 100% safe and federally insured!"). Fuck, I only wish you were on our side. We need such, clear rational thinking. Problem for you and yours is - as always- it is not pure. Any cuts are going to offend some part of a "class" or "color" subset of Democrats, and God knows you guys hold all of your oppressed (including "gender") groups so tight for any separation. Any reductions, anywhere, hurt somebody? Right? Well, at least we agree on that! Your beloved, insane Democrats would do well to heed you - but we both know they won't. Come on over where we listen, and at least sometimes make rational decisions. I mean, God almighty, we just kicked the Chamber of Commerce to the curb - they were all Rotarians and what-not, and coached little league teams. Didn't save them from the curb. But that's us - with all our faults! Cheers!

One aspect of this proposal that I haven't seen discussed -- how will single young progressives like the fact that "free money" is going to people with children who don't work?
