I hope a large chunk of a $1T cut comes next year. I don’t trust (not even from President Trump) claims of cuts “later”. And I certainly want cuts of at least $1T a year below this year’s spending and continuing below this year’s level forever.

Wishful thinking. You could cut every single dollar of non-defense, non-DHS discretionary spending; eliminate State, Treasury, Justice, Education, Agriculture, Labor, Commerce, HHS, HUD, Interior, all of them; and you still wouldn't hit $1 trillion in cuts.

Yep—major, major cuts needed. The government needs to do less with much less too.

Lots of waste to cut out of defense, too, though with targeted increases there.
