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?

Have they?

Has Bush done any negotiating that would lead them to conclude that would be a good thing to do? Did he even bother to try it when the Republicans had control of the House and Senate?

Bush is weak. He does his best to please all the people all the time.

I would cut 100% of “entitlements,” as NO ONE is “entitled” to live at my expense without my explicit voluntary consent, be it welfare queen or Archer Daniels Midland or some mullah in Iraq.
