ALL gubmint programs need cutting. ALL have pork.
cutting 55 billion from the 500 billion (not counting Pentagon warfighting )over 10 years isn’t ‘draconian’. Plenty of businesses have had to cut more than 7-10% lately.
Cutting “the other guy’s” favorite stuff and not your own isn’t working.
Why don’t the Republican or conservative folks in TV debates ever ask why anyone’s taxes should go up when the government wastes so much money and there is so much corruption and fraud? It drives me crazy that nobody ever says that in response to a Democrat who says we have to raise revenue. It’s the spending and waste, not the revenue!
Let me help you with your math....
They already cut 477 Billion from the next 10 years.
This would cut another 500 Billion from the next 10 years.
That’s about $100 Billion cut from FY 2013 budget, and that’s a lot more than 7% to 10%!
The “Pork” NEVER gets cut, in any department.
They always cut muscle and bone, so that it hurts and you’ll pay up next time.
That is true from your local school board to the Halls of Congress.
No President, Czar, or Dictator has ever learned to defeat the paper pushers in the trenches.
Some government programs need eliminating; they are ALL pork and unconstitutional as well.
Defense and Intelligence have already been cut disastrously low, while urban vote buying (AKA "welfare") has dramatically increased over the last 3 years.
