“Now you’ve got a budget of three and a half trillion dollars in this fiscal year. This will take $85 billion out of it. That’s [snip] near a third....You can’t take 30, you can’t take 30 percent of operational money out and expect to have the same product. You can’t do it! It’s impossible!” — Radio host and MSNBC anchor Ed Schultz on his February 25 radio show.

But remember, "progressives" are the reality-based community.
