When is Washington going to get real and cut medicare?

The 2004 US Federal budget deficit was 412 billion dollars. The 2005 deficit is projected to be 331 billion.

If you are a conservative/republican, I'd love to hear your thinking about why your party is so vocal about the need to reduce spending on programs that may run into shortfalls in 15-20 years, yet are -silent- when the president and congress you elected, run a deficit of a billion dollars a day NOW?

Please, 'splain.
