Americans are a funny lot. They think all Congressmen should be voted out, except theirs. They think the feds should cut spending, except money that’s spent on them.
We’ll never gain control of our spending voluntarily. We’ll be forced to. Exactly what “forced” means, we’ll have to wait and see.
Do nothing and the Fed will have to cut 20% from each Federal agency or department... 20% across the board. This is the only way to get any spending cuts.

I favor massive cuts to spending. I’ll start with a 20% cut to the SS I’m already receiving that I paid into over nearly fifty years. Follow that with a reduction by fifty percent in military spending (not pensions or medical care for vets)and announce to the world that we can’t be the cop any more and will respond to direct threats to our safety with nukes.
Cut welfare, eliminate the departments of education and energy, end all aid to (and control of) local schools. End federal support of the NEA, NPR and PBS. require all SS disability recipients to requalify immediately ANC requalify every two years. End SSI for children and all non-citizens.
I’m just getting started.

62% want OTHER people’s benefits and programs cut. If it affects them personally, 98% of Americans suddenly don’t care about their country’s future.
