...to wait until he makes his speech and actually proposes cuts. THEN you get to say something, not a moment before!

I am glad that groups are meeting with him NOW rather than waiting until he makes his speech. Maybe they will have an effect.

By your reasoning, they should have waited until he gave his speech, because then they would have proof, and then they would be justified in trying to do something about it. Of course at that point, their position is defensive and the best that could be hoped for is a dilution of the proposed cuts, rather than taking a stand ahead of time AGAINST ANY cuts.

In the meantime, the rich have their continuing tax breaks, so at least we've ensured that they don't have to share in the "shared sacrifices". Because, dontcha know, taxes, like sacrifices, are for the little people.
