The government never cuts fat. They always cut muscle and bone. The government wants the taxpayer to think that cuts in government spending means laying off teachers, firemen and police officers. They know people will be much more willing to pay higher taxes if they think it's for necessities. There's even a name for this trick of cutting the services people like the most in times of cut backs; it's called the "Washington Monument Strategy" (see attached link)
