Why Not cut every budgeted item by a flat percentage calculated by the amount of budget deficit than all cuts will be equal?

Then everything that runs on that money will just have to make do and let the cards fall where they have to.

Too simplistic I suppose.

I work in the private sector and I got laid off 2 weeks ago with 18 years with the company.

People will vote smarter next time.

Oh, that's what the politicians are afraid of!

The protected groups-police, fire, and prison unions won’t accept this.
