Well said:

"The term "do nothing Congress" is a misnomer, suggests Johnson. Congress is doing something even when it's not, he says. "When you're required to make a decision and you don't make one, that is a decision," he says."

Guarantee that the majority of these workers are "small government Conservatives." No doubt about it. And i'd also bet that the majority voted for Allen West.

Why don't they want small government now?

Does anyone really think the cuts will take place? There already is " public pressure " to halt them and was summed up in the last paragraph where it stated the cuts would lead to a loss in 1 million jobs. The leaders with Obama/Romney in tow will give the oldie but goodie " the economy is to weak for these type of cuts". Just think of it as a stimulus that the {R} just love and will always support.

Funny how someone can be for small government up until they realize it will effect their own pay check.

There is more than enough waste and fraud to address the cuts. Yes, there are more than a few living off this waste and fraud but it has to stop.

Basically the title should be "We do not want to be responsible or held responsible for the taxpayers money we spend so stop this".
