This really encapsolates this fiscal fraudelance of the modern day GOP. They cater to unsophsticated people who can't intellectually comprehend more syllables than "tax cuts." They refuse to say how we will make meaningful cuts in spending to coincide; that's because over 70% of our spending revolves around Republican money-makers: military spending and social security.
The Republican "solution" is to feed people who don't know any better irrelevant cliche's about food stamps and entitlements and ear marks, all of which make up virtually nothing relative to the large scale.
OK, wise guys, give us some specifics of where you want to cut. Then try to get Congress to vote for it. Even the smallest items with little benefit to the public are hard to cut. The larger ones are almost impossible. Most voters would support a 10% cut in Congressional pay but Congress certainly won't go for that and it is a minuscule part of the budget anywawy.

OK, here are some places to start.
FEMA: cut 90%
DEA: cut 95%
ATF: cut 80%
Military: cut 50%
Farm subsidies: cut 100%
UN: Cut 100%
Prisons: cut 50% after freeing all convicted of drug offenses
Law enforcement: Cut 50% after legalizing all drugs, prostitution and gambling.
Raise the retirement age to 70 for all new social security participants.
Eliminate all bail outs.
Eliminate all corporate subsidies.
That would be a good start, but there is a lot more that could be done.
He is a conservative, but he isn't stupid conservative. The man doesn't like taxes, cool, but he supports spending cuts in a lot of areas that could, should, and are responsible to cut.
Now, I'm going to go and "enhance" my calm with some cannabutter brownies.
Hmmmm..... enjoy. Had some last weekend. except I prefer rice crispies.
What was your thought process when you made this post? If you don't have anything to add, why bother? Did you think this was clever or something?
Waahhhh......

Ill support you on about 90% of that, how bout the department of education ?
Yes, add that to the federal cut list. Education should have never been a federally funded service.

they just passed a 1 trillion dollar health care bill how does that fit into your little clichéd retort ? Bottom line everything EVERYTHING needs to be on the table, guess that kinda blew your theory didnt it?
