doing the math, if you give every taxpayer $5000 it would completely bankrupt the U.S.

Think about this. If you as a taxpayer pay in lets say $10K per year in taxes,a $5k rebate would reduce your liability to only a $5k tax debt.

'According to his math that would mean roughly 79 million households would get a $5,000 check '

Article says households, not individuals. These guys haven't hardly cut at all. The largest expenditures are the four horsemen of the budget: SSI, DoD, Medicare, Medicaid. Then interest on debt.

Gimmicks right now, to cut 2 Trillion would be cuts on those, that hasn't happened. These guys saying massive cuts are sounding like used car sales men.

You cut 2 Trillion in a year, you will have to use any extra revenue to handle a massive recession. We've been propping up the economy with extra spending for decades.
