$100B is not a serious attempt at solving this problem. Even the "mavericks" are shooting too low.

We're doomed.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.... a quarter of a drop in the bucket. I guess it’s a start.

I am utterly baffled by the inability for nearly anyone in the federal government TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR THIS COUNTRY. Is anyone listening to backbone of America as it slowly breaks, to the sound of fiddles on the House steps?

I just wrote to my congressman, Rep. Garrett, NJ-5. I don't know where he stands on it yet but just wanted to let him hear about this:

I like you and I've voted for you every time you've run. Not sure where you stand on the various budget cut proposals. Just want to sound off and say that Ryan's 40 bil or whatever it is is totally inadequate. If that's sufficient to you, then we'll have to start looking for someone to primary you out of office, which I'd hate to see. I hope you fight for and insist on MUCH deeper cuts, more along the lines of Rand Paul's proposal--even his is not enough, but it'll do. Ryan's proposal is a joke and an insult to the tea party.

Good for Jeff Flake (R., Ariz.) and Cynthia Lummis (R., Wyo.)!

We need more like them!

[camle]

good for him! a trillion dollar cut would be a START!

This is the same Jeff Flake that got kicked off a committee because he was too fiscally conservative. You go Jeff.

I keep hearing $32 billion and other times $58 billion.

Neither is enough but why the confusion?

This nightmare didn’t happen overnight, and it won’t be cured overnight. Keep pouring on the pressure.
