A cute way to hide that it is a six-percent cut

I’d be happy to give FedZilla an annual budget of six pennies.

“this crisis that Congress created.” <== Truer words have never been spoken. The GOPe is already babbling about raising the debt limit.

I’m so glad our best and brightest have held the deficit to a mere $36 trillion. Can you imagine what it would be if our elected representatives served selfishly? /S 🙄

One way or another, the federal deficit will destroy this country. Rand Paul is the only person in DC who cares about that. Biden doesn’t care. Harris doesn’t care. McConnell doesn’t care. Even Trump doesn’t care.

All credit to Rand Paul for trying. But he’s outnumbered by 10,000 to 1. So look out below! When the crash comes, it’s gonna be brutal. Folks living in mansions behind guarded gates might be able to ride it out. But not you and me.

A friend of mine once said that it will all boil down to beans, bullets, and the Bible. Yeah. I think he’s right. The only question is when the collapse will come.

No austerity under Trump! Screw that! Anyone can see what the traitorous rinopublican party are teeing up. After the rinopublicans helped sign into law over 2 trillion dollars in NEW spending under Biden they’ll all of the sudden become budget hawks. What a @@#$ing joke.

I’ll bet a group of 100 small business men could do it better in less time.

He can’t even get the MAGA senators onboard with any of his plans. He is good, but highly ineffective.

Want to fix the budget? Get rid of baseline budgeting completely. Make Congeress do something for a change.

Cut about a million unnecessary federal jobs and eliminate whole federal agencies! Then and only then can we can talk about further cuts. Rinopublicans need to shrink the size of the federal government first so we can see that they are acting in good faith and not just trying to sabotage Trump which they would love to do.

Nonsense!!!. Why six penny when you can just abolish unconstitutional agencies? What bullshit. Forgive me Jimbo. The uniparty has no desire to abolish the administrative, the deep state. Go to hell clowns, you care about nothing except your government paycheck.

Only once in American history has the Federal debt been zero. That was under Andrew Jackson. It should be obvious by now our National Debt is a systemic problem. Milton Friedman showed that the cure is a Balanced Budget Amendment. Only using Article V is going to make that happen. There is no way Congress will limit its ability to spend money.

I have a better idea. Gut some Federal Departments and all there programs wholesale, such as Dep of Ed and HUD. Those two departments alone would get Rand’s six percent cut, permanently.

In the second year gut all “entitlements” that are not part of social security, medicare or medicaid. That would reduce $1.2 trillion in spending.

Then in the third year shrink all the non-defense related agencies.

You could get to a balanced budget in 3 years. But don’t leave it at that. Dedicate budgeted amount each year for paying off amounts of the debt, until interest on the debt is not a major signifcant budget item. It is better to spend the money that way - paying off debt, than simply continuing to spend so much on interest payments alone (about $700 billion currently).

The greatest threat to our national security is our national debt.

It’s why the democrat party keeps bribing for votes Bolsheviks have a plan.
