Across the nation, as states struggle fiscally, Republican-led legislatures
are reining in spending to balance state budgets. What a refreshing sight
to behold: government actually spending less today than it did yesterday,
eliminating government programs, and reducing the number of public-sector
workers where necessary.
A complete contrast to the way in which government works at the federal
level, such measures are foreign to many Americans. We are conditioned to

recovery is the slowest recovery in recent history. Of course a devided
