Really? With inflation figured in, that's less than $200 Billion per year. I don't think it significant at all, when compared with the extremely large expenditures this administration and Congress have imposed - there have been increases for brand new initiatives that amount to much more than that on an annual basis.
So will the $2 T reduction be an actual reduction, or will it be a reduction in the planned increases, thus maybe amounting to no reduction at all?
If we can get this which includes a slowing or cut in Medicare that is a change in the overall mentality...more substantive cuts come IF we get the senate and/or White House next year.
