Has anyone picked apart the GOP's "budget plan"?
The Washington Post printed up Admiral McCombover's "budget plan" on July 14, 2008.

Anyone gone through it?

2. The fly in the ointment is right here:
The CBO projects that spending -- including full funding of the current level of deployment of the military abroad -- will be 21.2 percent of GDP. McCain's policies will balance the budget by reducing spending across the board to reach 18.5 percent of GDP.


No specifics, just this generic previously-undiscovered "waste" that's just sitting there waiting to be cut. Same empty promises, same HUGE deficits, same raping of the Treasury for the top 1%. I don't understand why Republicans are even taken seriously anymore.
