RE :”Perry's plan reads: There exists a simple solution to America’s spending problem: a balanced budget. To get a handle on its federal debt problem, the federal government must first stop spending more than it collects each year. Only then can it begin to reduce the total amount of federal debt and free every American family from the debtor’s prison that was erected by years of overspending and fiscal mismanagement. “

Like I said, (specific) tax cuts for everyone and no specific spending cuts. YAY

no specific spending cuts

You should try actually reading the plan. It isn't that hard to do.

By cutting non-defense discretionary spending by $100 billion and restoring it to 2008 levels

Consolidating Department of Education funding for all elementary and secondary programs, reducing it by 50 percent, and returning the rest of the money to the states would save $25 billion in the first year.

Reducing the portfolio of investments by government-sponsored enterprises like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would save $26.5 billion over ten years.

And repealing the Davis-Bacon Act and paying market-based wages would save $11.4 billion.

Freeze Federal Civilian Hiring and Salaries Until the Budget is Balanced
