You gotta start somewhere. This is extremely bold considering we are up against a public entirely wedded to the social welfare state.
In the real world of the tax paying private sector, when companies down size, and the economy went south, tens of millions of jobs are eliminated nearly over night.

Indeed - it’s embarrassingly ridiculous. Unfortunately, more and more of those on our side are arguing based on emotion rather than fact and logic. It’s a characteristic that was more predominantly found on the left, but more and more on our side are adopting this way of analyzing every issue.
i understand what you are saying. BUT is budget deficit would still be 1.1 trillion every year. these pols are cowards. i have called boehners office every day for 3 weeks begging him not to raise the debt ceiling. This will all come crashing down. we need to balance the budget now and take the economic pain now so our kids dont have to later.
Let me guess. No military pay raise for 10 years. No military retiree COLA increase for 10 years. Raise Retiree medical costs to individual. Cut budget for military operations by 5 trillion and the rest is the three prior.
