    Thing is, Romey is focussing on these small ticket items. Yes, killing dozens small things like this and PBS, do add up. But not enough to solve all our debt/deficit problems.

    Not building a single high-tech military plane would save more than killing a slew of these small programs that Romney seems so focused on.

    Just as an example.

    A Republican Congress would. They want to reduce tax rates, especially on business and investments. They can't do that unless they slash expenses. He won't cut military contractors because they are a part of the Republican base. So Amtrak and Big Bird must go.

    Congress is owned and operated by the FOX Nazi Propaganda Channel, so yes they will kill all good things in America and leave this nation a dry desert wasteland everywhere.

    The but-it's-only-a-tiny-part-of-the-budget kind of thinking is one reason why we're running trillion dollar deficits.

    I don't want to kill Amtrak, but I don't want the government to continue subsidizing it.
