Republicans want to cut government. But they can't name a single specific program that they'd cut.

It's not that they can't, it's that they won't -- and they're smart not to. Admitting they want to cut Social Security, Medicare, or the military would be electoral suicide. And even apart from that, promising specific tax cuts and vague spending cuts has proven to be a winning strategy.

Not that I'm convinced most of them want to cut spending at all...

I was about to say that, actually. But it was more along the lines of "But it's what we're *supposed* to say!"

They can't name it because they'd be reamed at the polls if they did.

They apparently passed "meaningless sound bite" class with flying colors, and got a Z- in "practical solutions" class.

It's not like they're seeking these jobs to serve the public interest. Government is bad and should be small enough to drown in the bathtub, but big government paychecks are alllllright!
