[Jack of all Trades]

If we had a zero based budget, there’d be nothing to “cut”.

1) Start at zero
2) Prioritize “musts”, “shoulds” and “wants”
3) Budget so that outlays < receipts

How f'ing hard is that?

[Notary Sojac]

Prioritize “musts”

If Social Security and Medicare are not prevented from growing, it's not only f'ing hard, it's f'ing impossible.

Lots of Freepers think they are "musts" and sacrosanct.
