...sense. Payouts to the poor are just a sliver of the federal budget. Two of the largest programs, Aid to Families with Dependent Children and food stamps, account for 2.7% of the federal budget. But when Congress shies away from tougher kinds of budget cutting, the sort that would nick the middle class and the wealthy, only the poor and the outsiders are left to take the hits...

There were many exciting moments, but none that were particularly memorable.
