Guys, in order for us to keep borrowing hundreds of billions from China to send to Jordon, Pakistan, build more schools and roads in Afganistan, etc., we've got to cut the budget.

Don't forget the tanks and jets we sent to the Muslim Brotherhood.

AVG is right that 2% of a Trillion dollars is a lot of money but it is still just 2%. $20 billion. If we can't trim a mere 2% of what we all agree is a severely bloated federal budget we are sunk.

The problem is getting the government to cut what will hurt the American people the least. The way it seems they are cutting what will hurt us the most to try and get us to accept not cutting anything at all.

Welcome to the real world the UK came to realise two and a bit years ago (if on a lower valued but proportional/pro rata scale).
