Now we need to find 250,000,000,000 to cut in the budget. Lets start with welfare and other needless social programs.

Woudn't the budget be balanced if we dropeed the sr. citizens drug program we just passed 2 years ago? What's that, 100 billion dollars per year? We should just let Wal-Mart and Target take care of the sr. citizens' needs with their $4/month drug programs. The U.S. can help a little bit but the help would not amount to the trillon dollar package of just 2 years ago.

I like that idea a lot. Remember Bush seems to be very insecure trying to win friends that will never like him

70% of the wealth in the US is owned by people 55 and up and these are the people that are being subsidized. Fricken amazing.

Yes that is so. We should not cheer that budget is 250 billion dollars deficit - that is like finding a train wreck the first survivor. Do not give up. We should cheer when budget is in zero balance. Nonsense for 2% GDP when it is spending money that does not exist! Like saying by a robber that the first victim was so rich, he will not have to rob anyone else until tomorrow! Thief is thief!

I can't believe the President's senior citizens drug program adds anywhere near this much to the deficit.

Can anyone validate this number?
