Cutting spending is the only solution to our budget woes.

No, economic growth is also a solution to our budget woes. The major reason we have budget woes right now is our depressed economy and cutting programs that puts cash into the hands of people that will spend it will not help it recover any quicker and may slow down the recovery more right now.

Congratulations. You've introduced the solution to a multivariate problem of near infinite complexity by waving your magic wand, while ignoring the fact that cutting spending, in fact, increases economic growth.

The time has passed for us to keep forking-over more and more money. We're broke.

We're broke, and you are wondering, "what about the kids?"

Obviously buying 2% GDP growth with a budget deficit of 10% of GDP is the way to go. LOL!
