This should be around post 46. It’s quite disappointing that so many of the commenters haven’t read the article. I think a 4% annual reduction in the US government spending is a great idea.
Nobody on FR ever reads the article. I think it’s a step in the right direction. This “crisis” that we have every couple of years is ridiculous and makes the US look completely dysfunctional. Chuck and Nancy clearly do not want to negotiate, if they even know what the word means, and it would be great to take this staged shut-down out of their arsenal of underhanded plays. In fact, out of both parties’ arsenals, because it’s stupid and non-productive.
