Does well informing the public about how much goes where, would be more "realistic" with some post-mortem about the political or economic impacts of the cuts.
Give every one 50 years old+ 1 million dollars under the stipulation that they retire and buy a house and car. Fix the housing crisis and re-energize the auto industry, plus have people splurging money in the economy. It's a win-win situation for every one.

Bring the troops back from Iraq + close the hundreds of bases across the globe. Instead provide a fraction of these funds to the UN to build a legitimate world police force. I'm sure this would fix the deficit problem.... plus it might also make this world more peaceful.
Can someone define socialism for me? If socialist policies mean less poor, less hungry, less sick folks, less homelessness, why is it a bad thing? If socialist policies mean paying more taxes, earning less, so fewer people would suffer, I would not be opposed to it. When did socialism become a bad thing?
what's lost to everyone is that the deficit doesn't matter. If the entire govt budget was 500 million dollars, and we financed it entirely through deficit spending, and 0 through taxes, we'd be way better off then having a paid for govt budget of 1 billion dollars. Every dollar the govt spends is one dollars less the private sector can save.
