So stop spending on the rest of the world, already. Pull out troops, end nation building, foreign aid, disaster relief, whatever. Americans shouldn’t be the only ones to sacrifice.
take every federal project and make it’s current budget 90% of last years. every one. every place federal money is spent - make it 90% of last years. no exceptions.
repeat for five years.
no changes in taxes. when expenses dip below revenues (hopefully in year 5)apply surplus to debt buydown.
maintain until debt is 5% GDP.
require supertmajority to raise spending/taxes
We also need to fire some bureaucrats. I personally am witnessing the government preparing to piss away hundreds of millions of dollars in the next 6 years on a crappy, redundant system that won’t be as good as the one it replaces because of the egos of two career executives.
Do like the state of CA... they don’t meet the deadline?... NO PAY. (At least they got that one right.) Then take away all the perks and benefits.
A guy in Washington less than 6 months makes more sense than the whole lot of them there for decades.
Its about time someone held the Democrats to account for their miserable budget failures.
Another good example of why we need to fire more incumbents.
Abuse hit.
