Since I fall into one of these categories, I say keep them. This is just 1 more reason I support John McCain. He may have been against the cuts at first, but at least he is man enough to admit he was wrong back then and supports keeping them now that he sees their effect. The dems can deride him for it, but I think they are the ones that are wrong. They really are supporting a massive TAX INCREASE by trying to end them.
