The way you describe it.. .yes! But, if you cut discretionary by 100%, it wouldn't balance the current budget. 5-10% does... nothing.
I'm open to any indication the federal government is going to start behaving fiscally responsible as they expect me to behave fiscally responsible.
The federal government is taking in $4.5-5 trillion annually in taxes and spending $7 trillion annually.......we have a fricking spending problem along with a debt servicing approaching $1 trillion annually.

And you can see why, from this thread. Almost everyone L-O-V-E-S government spending as long as it comes to them.
quote:Yep. And DoD, SS, debt service is almost all of it. Which one you want to cut by 50% or more (and only two are an option)?
