That’s just dumb. The 2011 budget numbers I posted are for Defense and entitlements. Not discretionary. They are calculated from benefits. Your only fall back now is that you don’t believe in arithmetic.
You have no point. Revenues are going to be $2.4T We can’t get down to that without cutting SS, Medicare and Defense. If you think we can, go get 2010 and do your calculations and post them. Just do it. Stop BS’ing and do it. I did it. I had the ability and the concern. You don’t have one, the other or both.
I looked up the 2010 numbers which are the only actual numbers available. When you talk about whether the budget should be cut you need to know what it was previously. The numbers you looked up are just someoone’s projections. Contrary to your belief actual numbers do not always track projections, particularly when you’re still deciding what the numbers should be. Your approach sort of reminds me of what the liberals do. The set up a base line that increases every year by say 10 percent and then if someone suggests increasing it by only 5 percent they call that a 5 percent cut.
