That's pretty naive and simple minded. I don't think this proposal is put together for any reason other than neo-con spin. They don't even believe or pursue it's imlementation. It would be un-enforceable, it would be dangerous without massive loopholes, it is not politically viable, . . . And of course it doesn't address the question at all. "What do you cut?" is the question. You haven't listed a single item.
Making sweeping accusations like this is easy if you are surrounded by people who just want to believe you and don't look at underlying facts. There are balanced, fact driven news sources and government reports that state the facts -- which budgets go up, which go down, and by how much. You should consider following a real news source.
Again, we are offered sweeping generalizations without specific ideas. I really do believe that Americans are beginning to see through this kind of neo-con nonsense. Most on this board believe that spending needs to be brought in line with taxation. We need to stop charging future generations for our sloppy financial habits. But so far on this thread, I think I am the only one who has actually offered a specific spending reduction idea.
Now I'll go one step further. I'll offer a tax idea: eliminate the newly instated windfall tax breaks for the wealthiest 1-2% of the population.
