Again you sound insane. You claim that the govt will not, can not HOLD spending to a fixed level. Then a little further down you say this: "So again...we can't and we won't....not without CUTS somewhere."

If there is no political will to hold spending flat then certainly there is no political to cut year over year. Are you mentally all there?

LOL...cutting government spending and HOLDING the departments to the same level of spending are TWO different things. If you are talking about the ENTIRE budget...then YES. That means what...CUTTING somewhere. Someone HAS to be CUT (right? right.)

How hard is this to comprehend? If you want the overall level of government spending to remain the same...that is impossible for EVERY department. That means some departments will HAVE TO BE cut. There is nothing insane about it.

You are not understanding what I am saying.

Now, you tell me which governmental agency is going to be CUT. There is ZERO way to take government...the way it is...and tell everyone "your budget will remain the same size for 20 - 50 years." THAT is what is insane.

No COLA adjustments for retirees. No increase for the military. No raises for the military. Prices increase. Inflation. Etc.

You must CUT somewhere in order to INCREASE the spending for cost of living and inflation in some of those necessary, constitutional agencies. THAT is my point.

So...where do you CUT?
