Quote of the day

From the CSM article noted below on the "Deficit Reduction Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 2005":

"There's a fairness issue here," says Isabel Sawhill, a senior fellow in economics at the Brookings Institution. "We're basically cutting programs that serve low-income families and the middle class in order to pay for tax cuts that go overwhelmingly to the very wealthy. Even some Republicans have been uncomfortable with that."

Wow. Even some Republicans.
