I’m not fooled by these machinations. It’s all part of the game. Fake outrage even though the government is expanding.

Did you hear Rush the last couple of days? If we froze spending as it is right now, that would be considered a $9 Trillion cut over ten years.

I’m not playing the game anymore and won’t pay attentioin to anyone who does. We need a trillion dollars in real cuts THIS YEAR. And the cuts don’t need to be from “Social Security and Medicare.” The department of Agriculture has two buildings in Washington. Two! One has corn growing outside of it. How quaint. Fire everybody in one of them and rent it out for income. Fold what’s worthwhile into the dept. of the interior and slash that budget. The EPA should be under Interior too. That eliminates another building. Veterans Affairs should be folded back into Defense. Want revenues? Sell off or rent out government land, put tariffs on wire payments to Mexico.

There’s any number of items that can cut the budget down this year.

If the budget can be raised 1.6 trillion in two years it can be cut by the same amount in the same period of time.

Someone tell me why it can't.
