Since no one can agree to have their own stuff cut – only the other guy’s – I would cut the federal budget by 10% across the board – every single outlay would become 10% less.

At the end of a year, if the budget wasn’t balanced and the debt at zero – I would cut another 10% across the board – no exceptions.

I’d keep that up – 10% less spent per year – until the budget was balanced and the debt at zero.
