You ask whether it is possible to reduce Federal Spending by 30%.
Do you realize that a 30% decrease in Federal Spending would take us to spending levels we had in the first years of the Bush Administration? Not the first Bush Administration, but the current Bush Administration....
Why is it impossible to imagine that spending levels which were adequate in 2001 are not at all possible today?
Do you realize that we could decrease spending by 40% and still be at the 1994 spending level, the last year in which the Democrats controlled both Houses and the White House?
Why is it impossible to imagine that spending levels which were adequate the last time the Dems held all the cards can be adequate today?
