You cannot bring the deficit under control through cuts to discretionary spending. You could literally cut every single dollar of non-defense related, non-security related discretionary spending and still run a deficit. Without cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and other non-discretionary spending you will never balance anything.

You'll get nowhere with that idea here on FR, Dawg.

The I PAID IN!!! THE GOVERNMENT PROMISED!!! crowd is pretty vocal, and Trump heard them.

We will drive the Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid bus until the wheels simply come off in a couple of decades.

At that point, no one will care about who paid in, or who promised them what.
