A 10% across the board cut in spending would have the government back in the black. A 5% cut in spending would have the government close to a balanced budget.

But......President Hillary claims that schools need more resources, and we have to spend more on education and also on her socialized medicine plans.

Stay tuned and see what budget priorities the next president has. There will never be enough money going to Washington for some people.

97% of Federal spending on entitlements is fixed in law. Congress would have to mandate the cuts in legislation. So where EXACTLY would YOU cut 5 to 10% of the Federal Budget that is not mandated by law? Please be specific with your choices and amounts?

Vote the Senate & Congress out of office until they get things right. What the each state’s politicians do affects all of the US. We better watch out for each other because the politicians sure aren’t.

A 90% cut in spending would have the government close to their Constitutional mandate. . .
