Your article claims that they can cut $600 billion the first year and then identify only a little over $28 billion in cuts. Where will the rest of the savings come from?

balance the federal budget in one year.

The article lists less than $30B cuts for FY 2017 while the deficit is more than 15 times that.

Slash the un\extra-Constitutional stuffs and I can not only balance the budget, but start paying down the DEBT.

Unfortunately, it’s as ‘useful’ to D.C. as the last given (IIRC, it was the 80+ overlapping programs for housing aide)...Congress shelved it and continued on as usual.

Now, I’ve read that report in the past. It should be mandatory in every high school\college year.

If it doesn’t make you mad, you’re part of the problem.
