I agree. 10% from everything, including Social Security, welfare, food stamps, military, everything. Even Big Bird!

People who are on fixed income with no resources should be helped by church food banks and donations. Doctors could maybe donate some services.

If we ALL take a cut, then maybe people will understand how this is serious.

Also, most importantly, it will stop this “Why is MY check cut when so-and-so’s check isn’t? Unfair!”

Just roll everything back 10%. And for contracts that are locked in, declare a national fiscal emergency and tell tem “too bad, you get cut, too.”

10% is exactly the number the ratings agencies are looking for, 370 billion is what 10% yields they want 400 but I'm sure they would settle.

What they will get is 4%. That's a sure downgrade to AA status for us.
