Still want to try and argue the only way to balance the budget is with tax hikes? And don't try to claim you didn't
You did it right here.

So, let me get this straight, You want to raise college tuition to about 30-40K a year. Close down all national parks. Return to the social safety net and food security of the 1900’s (and encouraging women to have abortions). Do away with the two most popular programs of the the most solidly republican voting block (seniors).
And mind you, you are still about 200 Billion short. And that’s not including you reducing the tax revenues by getting rid of the IRS (really are people going to pay their taxes if there are no cops?). And I won’t even go into the nightmare you propose to have the government print their own money. If you think spending is out of control now...
Ok so we saved 25 million on the unused phone lines, we saved 500,000 for Beyonce’s house that leaves us with only 1.2 trillion more to cut.
Let me put it into %’s.
Total Federal Budget - 100% - 3.6 Trillion
Debt+Defense+Social Security+Medicare - 61% - 2.2 Trillion
All other spending - 39% - 1.4 Trillion
Shortfall in Revenues - 33% 1.2 Trillion.
You have to eliminate 33% of the federal budget.
So what do you cut - and what would be the consequences of those cuts.
