I wish it was that simple because the only spending people seem to want to cut is foreign aid (http://www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2010/04/economistyougov_polling).

Cut education because the federal government has no business in education that the states job. You know how I feel about SS so that can be phased out over the years. Agriculture, Science & Technology could all be reduced. Hell just cut waist across the board and we would be allot better off.

The problem with federal programs is they are pretty much forced to spend every penny of funding every year or loose the money. Thats a flawed system and if we fixed that we would save billions each year.

I would be happy, slightly, if we cut each one of those areas by the percent of people who want it cut. so 7% cut in SS, 22% cut in Defense, 71% cut in foreign aid, etc etc. It would be a start.

As for not answering the one question, that is your typical trick question. No answer, or any answer, and it would be thrown around and mutilated in the press. People know what they want to be done, but the mass media and political elite work together to run contrarian ideas through the "spin" cycle.

Lotus, if it is a pure racist tendency it will die out, but what if the phrasing was not put into black/white dialogue as it gets portrayed, but instead just a simple, generic, our American culture is creating lots of people nowadays who are more willing to rely on handouts versus working hard and living within our means. Would that be more sustainable.

I'd like to see a politician run on a platform of cutting medicare, ss, and defense..that will be the day. It's not a trick question, it's rhetorical question.

I think the way things are going we are getting closer to the day that someone will run on a platform of cutting more spending but probably not worded as you have put it.

I wonder if Arnold ran on a platform of reducing state employees to minimum wage.

If the situation gets dire enough politicians will have to cut these programs, but of course it would be better to cut them before the need was that dire.

they aren't dire, since politicians are able to print the money and many other factors that keep us from being in Greece or California's situation. And we could turn it around now, if we had the political will, but like Saden said, to do it, you would have to be willing to cut SS/Medicare AND Defense, but there is no way a majority of the House will get voted in with that agenda.

Yeah those TEA Partier's are crazy. If they got into power they'd send in predator drones into Pakistan and blow up weddings. They'd drop bombs on Serbian schools. They'd lock people up without a cause and hold them forever. Why those TEA Party people they want to take us back to 1776. Why if they were in power they'd sell out our birthright to the banks. Can't have that can we!
