This was Neal Cavuto last night.
Heheh. That's exactly what my Dad used to say (he passed away at 94 a couple of years ago).
Just relax, we'll find out. As soon as Trump tells me, I'll ping you.
More like all the rest of the candidates. We'll have to wait until they're elected and hope they actually will cut somewhere. I'm a whole lot younger than your dad and I've never seen it happen. I suspect your father never saw it either.
If they did, they might try to stick you with the bill.
Did Clinton have that?
Where? Where ever it needs to be cut.
Let Trump handle all the financial dealings with his team...and Cruz handle Congressional business with his team....
We got a Major “cleaners” formulating!!...Yes!
Yeah, looks like Clinton (or Clinton/Gingrich, if you’d like):

Compliance costs with those two agencies has to top $800billion/year.
Which is great for business but doesn't help the federal deficit.
The corporate tax needs to be eliminate outright. It is stays as a low %, it will just be ratcheted up with the next RINO or RAT president.
Investment would flow back into the U.S. if we eliminate the corporate income tax, death tax and the EPA.
We need to eliminate as much of government as possible (within the shortest time frame.)
And where does he think that is?
Increasing Economic growth will quickly reduce the deficit.
Somehow social spending (food stamps, welfare, etc) must be ratcheted down in absolute amounts.
The Federal leviathan must be brought back into Constitutional compliance. That is a worthy and just goal.
We must somehow stop the slide towards rabid, evil socialism.
Meanwhile the Dems meet with their advisors to hammer-and-sickle out their tax plan.
Trump isn’t foolish enough to make predictions without getting a detailed view as President.
My father was an executive officer and VP for a privately owned corporation. He always said that a first hand on-site examinations would yield nightmares (he was a nuclear engineer) and there was no practical purpose to suppositions. The facts were always worse.
We're in the same crazy bin. Sixteen years ago, it was looking like Forbes vs Quayle, hoping they' d be the ticket. Forbes with the economy, Quayle with foreign affairs expertise. The world would've been a very different place if it had been those two.
But GWB's donors overwhelmed the system with money. And Quayle used an alternative spelling of potato. So we got GWB, and a giant step down that slippery slope.
It is something and not insignificant. Meanwhile, Boner and McConnell don’t even want to cut funding to Planned Parenthood.
I think one of the first things Trump will do, in concert with building a wall on the southern border, is require all EBT card holders to prove citizenship for benefits. Without that, his immigration rhetoric will be pretty hollow.
So they keep saying.
Somehow social spending (food stamps, welfare, etc) must be ratcheted down in absolute amounts.
Foodstamps and welfare are the small potatoes. You could do away with Agriculture and HHS completely and just about halve the current deficit. The 800 pound gorilla is Social Security and Medicare. Trump has said he plans no cuts there.
The Federal leviathan must be brought back into Constitutional compliance. That is a worthy and just goal.
And I would be very interested in hearing just how President Trump plans on doing that.
Compared to the cuts that would need to be made to balance the budget it is.
Yet he's perfectly comfortable talking about the tax cuts he'll enact and the 25,000 new border patrol agents and the increases to Defense and Veterans spending. Cutting taxes is great. Increasing spending is fun. But balancing the budget as he's promised to do? That's too hard to talk about.
