Not all of this is only on Republicans.
Agreed.
I'm waiting on someone anyone to come up with something at least somewhat concrete.

Writer, I don't think you understood my post. I'm just asking the GOP to put up a budget proposal (or counterproposal, if you will). I'm not so stupid to think that either party will touch the Big Three. I'd just like to see some firm numbers from them. Like I said, you cannot debate the merits of something if it isn't there.
