It was fascinating watching Jack Welch on CNBC this morning.

He kept talking about how we needed to sacrifice to balance the budget.

But at the same time he kept pushing that the Bush tax cuts had to be preserved.

I kept wanting to ask Welch what he was willing to sacrifice to balance the budget.

He sure seemed like he was the typical CNBC host or guest that was quite willing to ask others to sacrifice but did not offer to make any sacrifices himself.

So my question is Jack Welch, what are you willing to sacrifice to balance the budget?
