A lot of squabbling that will amount to a hill of beans. Meanwhile the house is on fire.
Thinking either party will fix this is laughable. How gullible some of you are. DaveV's pointing out the others who promised deficit reduction points out the obvious,..... they are liars, all of 'em.
Dems keep asking what would you cut, point to specifics. OK here goes;
If I were king the military budget would be halved, overseas bases dismantled, sold, and troops brought home to police the border areas, north and south. Both wars would be OVER post haste. Foreign aid/military aid to ALL countries would be eliminated.
The Federal Reserve would be audited then phased out of existance. Along with the Depts. of Ed, Energy, Agriculture, and the EPA. Legal tender laws would be repealed to allow currencies to compete with the dollar.
At which time these are implemented and eliminated the federal income tax would be repealed and replaced with nothing.
Saving $ in these places would curtail the need to immediately address both medicare and SS and enable us to take care of those who need to be taken care of. As the economy improves entitlements are reduced.
