C'mon Hound, you have to admit that the point of your post was that Republicans were unserious about cuts because they included ending funding for NPR and PP as if that constituted a large part of what they were cutting. Taking facts and spinning it a certain way is called opinion. We got the point you were making.

As for the other comment about unions while it may have been tongue in cheek I only pointed out the fallacy in tying those two very different issues together, even if it were a joke.

But I think I do agree with your main point that all the news is not bad and there is incremental improvement, in my view despite the current administration and not because of it (yes, I suspect you will disagree). But we are still in a very fragile place and we can fall back if we don't get control over the deficit. Sadly, Obama and the Dems in the Senate are just not serious about that issue as evidenced by his SOU speech and the budget he presented.
