What I can’t understand is why we can’t ramp it down two trillion in two years. We added a trillion dollars per year to the budget over the past two years. Why can’t that simply be rolled back? The GOP is playing on the Dems turf here.

As I was reading this my fiancee’ said the same thing. Why aren’t they looking at what the 30% increase was in the last 2 years and cutting that out first? I agree. Obamacare has got to be most of it so if they cut that whole program a lot goes away. Then you have the Service Act which added 250,000 more people to the govt payroll. This new Food Safety Act has got to be adding costs. They need to look at every piece of legislation that has been passed in the last 2 years and the worthless Dept of Education which needs to go and on and on and on.
