This is unadulterated bullshit.
Eliminate the Department of Education. Cut the EPA's budget by 90%. Stop giving federal "grants" to pressure groups. Stop studying cow flatulence. Deport the f'n illegals. Stop paying for anchor babies. Ad nauseum.
There are thousands of areas that could and should be cut first. The pols are pulling their standard old trick of making sure any "cuts" are first made where it hurts the public the most.
Disgusting.
If they put away the “politics” of their own states and just focus on stopping the spending ,and cut the junk, then see where they are at. But I am not going to support cutting those who earned and have need of ‘their’ retirement monies ,which they paid into the system, until they get serious about spending in all the other areas.
They just want a quick fix and going after where the most revenue is generated from.....how about stop giving to Freddi Mac etc. and cease feeding the banking system of other countries.
Oh the lists could go on..... but as I see it the problem isn’t where they can cut, but they simply aren’t willing to do that.
