No cite needed. As you and I have both lamented, this administration hasn't actually cut (and I mean it in the real way) anything over the last 3 years. So any claim of a cut, by deduction, must have been a reduction to increase.

Republicans rarely decry cuts, unless its to the military, and those cuts have been real cuts of late.

What I'm saying is if you don't like cuts, just say so - you don't have to spin it by throwing in tards, kids, the elderly, the blind, the poor, etc. The principle should stand on its own.
The point is also that Arnold could not have won with Atticus no matter what he did. If he didn't roll back the car tax or raised taxes, Atticus would have called him on breaking a campaign promise. So he rolls back the car tax and doesn't raise taxes, and Atticus busts him for making cuts. Guess what? He doesn't have a fucking choice to turn the ship around. And the choice between cuts and higher taxes was made by the electorate by a wide margin.
