Of course they do. The professional takers don't like be called out for what they are. The 'cuts', so far, are pretty mild, and they're about as far as the present government can go, so they get the worst of both worlds.

Best to cut really hard and cut once.
i.e. call up the local heavies, then make the cuts. Then any obvious over-cuts you can recover from.
Of course the one cut that really needs to be made is the amount of bureaucratic direction in the economy, thus smaller state, less taxes on income (tax things the government creates instead, like patents, property rights and copyrights).

"best to cut hard and cut once" Perhaps, because years of a thousand cuts demoralizes for years ----- but what if the USA did that? (other than playing brinkmanship with debt extensions I mean). Not so sure.
Lessons learned from the land of the once called Northern Peso. We cut the crap out of every program with no sacred cows, treaked taxes higher for everyone --and taxed almost everyone for at least something, and reset priorities on sustained economic development) Did it for years and until the great 08 derivitive crash) were running in the black for 6 years - and will be again in about 2 years. We were lucky - because we bit the green weiner when the rest of the world was not in a resession and had resources to export. In short, strategically, everyone has to pull on the rope and pay the piper to some degree. Dont really hear either party saying that in the USA - just mudslinging divisionist behavior perpetuated by the media. From the outside its concerning. Perhaps Mittens has the business hutzpa to put it together. We can hope - for your sneezes are our colds.

Governor Romney will do some of what needs to be done, instead of making it logarithmically worse as the current denison of the White House would do, Northern Cousin. Beyond that, we will have to see.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
