Thanks for the reply. I was hoping that your "defund all" statement did not really mean "defund all" in that sense.

A zero-baseline budgeting process in which every single spending line item starts at zero and has to be justified would go a long way toward restoring some fiscal sanity. Too many outrageous items get funded for billions of dollars because rather than asking "why should the federal government even spend a penny on this item" liberal democrats and a complicit media screech "how can you impose such a draconian cut by only increasing this item by 5% instead of 15% this year?"

From your lips to God's ear.
