Ever wonder why they never cut spending?

Then just read Business groups, unions unite against GOP rule change.

There you will see the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has hooked up with Big Labor to oppose a proposed rule which would allow cuts to transportation spending.

Reminds me of when I was at Interior and cut the BLM grazing budget and the National Cattleman's Association testified against the cuts.

Both are instances where industry has fallen in with the Big Government types and make it so hard to cut federal spending. The problem isn't just on the left.
