I’m not even saying that our politicians are CAPABLE of doing this. It is a less painful way to shrink the government. IF THEY WERE CAPABLE OF DOING IT. It is a start.

If our GDP was 22 trillion dollars and the budget was 2.9 trillion and stayed there for 4 years.

Assuming a 4% growth in GDP for this exercise

At the end of 4 years the budget would have gone from 13.1% of GDP to 11.2% of GDP.

From 13.1 to 9.6% of GDP after 8 years.

And if they’re not capable of it, then what? Put them right back in office because they’re “not Democrats”, and make sure anyone who proposes actually cutting anything gets ridden out of town on a rail.
