NONE. But I can do the math, and that is what it will take. The ‘lower taxes and cut waste’ is a joke. WE still want our politicians to give us our goodies that we voted for, but we can only print the money for so long and it is about to come crashing down around our ears. Right now we are borrowing/printing trillions to pay the interest on trillions with over 60 trillions in unfunded entitlements. Someone isn’t going to get paid, eventually. It will either be because a leader stepped in and convinced us to sacrifice to fix it, or it will be because the system came to a crashing halt, but it is coming either way.

That's true, and an even bigger joke is Juan McCain's constant harping about "earmarks", which typically make up about $30 billion of the $3 trillion plus budget. There are some wasteful projects in that amount, but it's mostly a cheap applause line Juan likes to throw around while avoiding talking about entitlements and other programs where the real money is.
