Update of an old antiwar saying: What if we got a lot of money and the Defense Department had to have a baked goods sale at a table with a donations jar?
What if the US Government greatly reduced spending and refused to increase the deficit and the national debt? And illegal aliens, urban entitlement hogs, Ukrainians, climate change fetishists and Dem voting blocs had to earn their own way?
I would would reduce the rate of spending for three years.
Then freeze the amount spent for the fourth year based on the amount spent in the third year.
In the second term, reduce spending by 1% every year. Keep doing that with subsequent Congresses and Administrations until the debt is <5% of revenues.
A pipe dream, I know!
We’ve seen their playbook time after time. There will be claims that any such budget kills Social Security and Medicare, with updated video of conservatives pushing old ladies over the cliff.
It’s a great thought, but not something nearly anyone will support once it comes home to them or their family.
