... it's a start.
It’s a start, but how many of these cuts are actually gonna survive to the end? That’s why we oughta triple the cuts to begin with... at least.
it’s definitely a start. I’d sign on to all of it, but it also shows that we can’t balance the budget without whacking the big ones: SS, Medicare, Medicaid, Defense, Interest on the Federal deficit.
-close all foreign bases not needed for current terrorist effort, i.e. many in Europe and South Korea.
-Copays for all Medicare/Medicaid services.
-Take a serious look at SS Disability.
-And the big controversial one, eliminate interest payments by paying with printed dollars instead of treasury bonds. We’re doing it anyway, via the Federal Reserve, why not just let the taxpayer print money directly and cut out the middleman? As an added bonus, it will be recognized that Federal Deficits == Inflation, which might put a governor on our politicians, hopefully.
