Really, I don’t understand why the Feds just don’t do exactly as you suggested. Simply keep all spending as is by proportion, and cut across the board whatever percentage is needed to balance the budget.

Okay, I understand why they don’t do it, but it’s still frustrating!

So you're going to cut every Social Security check to every recipient by 25%?

You're going to cut every soldier, sailor, marine’s paycheck by 25%? Or are you just planning to fire 25% of them?

Many government buildings and offices are rented. You plan to just tell the landlord, “I just unilaterally cut your monthly rent for the space by 25%, screw you.”? Everybody who does busines with the Federal government just got screwed out of 25% of what they expected to get paid, eh?
