That would be an incorrect assumption on your part. We MUST cut defense, SS, Medicare/Medicade as well as all bulk of discretionary spending. That or destroy the lives of those yet to be born with crippling debt. I say we live within our means. You?
Agree.
Instead, how about cutting spending by 20% and raising revenues to pay for the other 20%. That would balance the budget. But, I guess you really aren't concerned with balancing the budget are you?
What brings to to that conclusion? Surely not reason or logic. Surely not anything I have said. How many generations are we needing to tax to pay off what was incurred before they were even born to satisfy you? How many bicycle helmets and air conditioners does the Government need to give away while taxing the retailers that sell them, competing with the give away's? How many Bullshit schemes and scams bankrolled by the Federal Government with our tax money, without our consent do we need to tolerate? How many redundant Intrusive Government agencies? How many Mortgages are our tax dollars subsidizing? I know you think we are not paying our fair share in enhancing your life style and all. Yet, I feel that your imposition on my life degrades my quality of life. How about we start with an Audit of the Federal Reserve, and see what damage can be undone. Maybe we could reexamine every exempt status too, and trim some fat.
