We need to cut SPENDING first and foremost!

There's going to be a depression at some point whether people like it or not. Government needs to be cut, to the tune of 40+%. It makes up enough of GDP that it is what comprises all of what everyone gets all sweaty over as some type of recovery.

In order to halt or fix the problem, they need to not have "lowered rates of increase", and they need to not "cut 5%", they needs the CUTS OF THE APOCALYPSE! Medicare part D, Dept energy, Dept education, Homeland Security, TSA, large swaths of welfare need to just go away. 5-10% from military, and separate UNTOUCHABLE depository for social security.

The ONLY reason that either party wants to "tweak" it like is written of in the media is so they can continue to BORROW and

-----> SPEND MORE, <-----.

If you gave the politicians EVERY tax hike they wanted the deficit would not go down a penny BECAUSE THEY WOULD SPEND IT!

Government needs to get it through it's head that through some way shape or form we are going to starve it into submission...
