RE: Then let’s not keep federal spending even.
We don’t even need to keep it even. The former Congressman Connie Mack has proposed a plan that both Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity like — THE PENNY PLAN.
See here:

Mr. Mack’s bill, H.R. 1848, would cut one-penny-out-of-every dollar actually spent by the federal government from year-to-year for the next six years, from FY 2012-FY 2017. Beginning in FY 2018, there would be a budget cap of 18% of GDP (the average federal revenue as a percentage of GDP over the past 30 years). And by FY 2019 America would finally have a balanced budget – that is, assuming revenues naturally increase from the current 14.8% of GDP to 18% of GDP by 2019, after which the budget would be in surplus.
Unfortunately, the man got voted out in 2012 (Together with Col. Allen west). Thanks Florida.
