The actual proposal is to cut $58 billion in non-defense spending from Obama’s 2011 budget proposal.

The GOP originally promised $100 Billion in cuts. I’m not sure where you get the $32 Billion, but that’s $10 Billion short of what ADDITIONALLY needs to be cut, and that’s the reason for Flake’s non-cooperation. He wants an ADDITIONAL $42 Billion trimmed from the budget.

$32 billion is the number Hugh Hewitt is using:

Apparently this is coming from Ryan himself.

Question is where did the $58 billion number come from?

They should eliminate cabinet departments that violate the 10th Amendment, HUD, Education, HHS, Energy, and Transportation. They should eliminate federal welfare spending, including food stamps, unemployment benefits, and TANF. Each state government should take care of the welfare needs of its residents. All of these cuts would save about 40%. Since the federal government would need less money, Congress would pass an across-the-board 40% income tax rate cut.
