Just wondering: why is there no talk about cutting the judicial branch?
It seems to me that the judicial branch of government could have some spending reigned in. My BIL is a right wing lawyer who loves Sarah Palin. I'd love to bring up cutting the branch of government where he makes HIS money. But nobody talks about it. Lawyers and judges could certainly "sacrifice" more than teachers, firefighters, and police officers.

3. How about cutting the lobbying branch of government
It's the most costly by far.

End all lobbying. Make lobbying a felony punishable by life in prison for the first offense.

4. The National Labor Relations Board has been getting cut for the last 30 years
It's a shell of what it once was
I'm sure if you go through various judicial agencies within the federal government you'll find similar results

5. Are you kidding? Compared to the rest of Government the Judiciary is run on a shoestring
And every year the Supreme Court has to send a couple of Justices up to the hill to beg for their budget. Its pathetic to watch, Cspan always covers it.
