4 billion in cuts coupled with no debt ceiling increase might actually make a small start in the problem.

The way I understand it he wasn’t cutting 4 billion he wanted to get the money in tax increases with the promise of tax cuts later. Reagan fell for that one once and said he would never do it again.

You mean $4 trillion, right? Cause $4 billion in cuts would do nothing.
