Lakhota what would you cut to balance the budget?
I would cut the defense budget in HALF.
I would allow Bush tax cuts to expire.
That won't fix it, there will still need to be entitlement cuts.
For all you wingnuts who try to falsely blame Obama for the national debt, deficits and economy, I invite you to please give us an accounting of the debt that Obama has added - that wasn't a direct or indirect result of Bush actions. The Bush debt clock didn't just stop on the day Obama was sworn in. Let me give you some starting tips: TWO wars that Bush kept OFF budget that Obama keeps ON budget and the Bush tax cuts. In short, Bush-era policies are still driving the numbers.

The broader Standard & Poor’s index is up 66.1 percent for Mr. Obama’s first term and the Nasdaq stock market has more than doubled, both increases more than was seen in the first terms of Presidents Carter, Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, even as Mr. Obama has had sometimes difficult relations with Wall Street on issues ranging from financial regulation and taxes to the virtues of equity capitalism.

CNN Host Dismantles Grover Norquists Anti-Tax Argument: This Is A Wish, Not A Plan
By Igor Volsky
CNNs Fareed Zakaria challenged Grover Norquists opposition to tax increases during an interview on Sunday, insisting that the anti-tax zealots opposition to higher taxes gospel which the GOP has adopted could lead to financial collapse and turn the nation into another Greece. In other words, I dont like high taxes, but the question is if you want lots of government services, you have two options. You can either have high taxes, or you can borrow the money, Zakaria said.
Norquist responded that Americans dont want higher taxes and tried to argue that lawmakers can make-up for the lost revenue and still fund social programs and other government priorities with the economic growth that results from cutting tax rates. But Zarakai didnt buy it. Pointing out that growth declined after President George W. Bushs massive tax cuts and increased after President Bill Clinton raised them, he told Norquist, This is a wish, not a plan:
We need to cut every program except for the military by 1/3 and not spend any more money than what is taken in on taxes. For God sakes, stop borrowing money from China.
That uppity bitch is as snotty as her husband.

CNN’s Fareed Zakaria challenged Grover Norquist’s opposition to tax increases during an interview on Sunday, insisting that the anti-tax zealot’s opposition to higher taxes — gospel which the GOP has adopted — could lead to financial collapse and turn the nation into “another Greece.” “In other words, I don’t like high taxes, but the question is if you want lots of government services, you have two options. You can either have high taxes, or you can borrow the money,” Zakaria said.
Norquist responded that Americans don’t want higher taxes and tried to argue that lawmakers can make-up for the lost revenue and still fund social programs and other government priorities with the “economic growth” that results from cutting tax rates. But Zarakai didn’t buy it. Pointing out that growth declined after President George W. Bush’s massive tax cuts and increased after President Bill Clinton raised them, he told Norquist, “This is a wish, not a plan”:

I suspect your avatar is smarter than you.

Ending the Bush tax cuts would be a good start. We'd have Clinton prosperity once again.
