1)Eliminate all but the most basic of foreign aid
2)Bring home all military personnel stationed abroad with the exception of those stationed on established U.S. military bases. Put them on OUR borders where they can really bolster our national security.
Do you even know what compromises the majority of our debt?
Even if you shrink the ENTIRE defense spending its still not enough. Foreign aid, although is a waste, isn't even close to the next thing you need to cut in order to make a dent.

Maybe taxes shouldn't have been reduced so much. The receipts are what has caused the deficit to increase and the deficits are also what has fckucked up the repo market.

That gets you about half-way there....

Earmarks are just the tip of the pork barrel iceberg.

I am talking about earmarks and other pork the government puts in spending bills (both D and R) that drain the taxpayers dollar to give charity to those who do not need it.
Can you specify some of these earmarks? Do the taxpayers benefit from the corporations business dollars?
So you're taking the deduction portion of tax benefits to businesses out of your equation, correct?
How about your standard deductions..should you have to prove you need it to receive it? If not, why not?
Just looking for consistency.

This is how you balance the budget. Constitutional convention:
1. Congressman limited to two terms
2. Eliminate Federal Withholding rules and require all citizens to pay their taxes twice per month.

On a scale of 1-10, where do you put Obama for taking a debt that took 230+ years to accumulate and doubling it in 8 years?
Do you remember how outraged and outspoken you were? What were some of your comments about him back then?
*leave out your profane comments, because the liberals will call you racist*

If you eliminate all but most basic foreign aid..... then funneling money to the kids of our House and Senate would be harder to do. So why would they do that?

Reagan did similar to buy our way out of the oil shocks of the 70's
I said I like Bush Sr and felt he got screwed out of the 2nd term by Ronnie's spending
I think Obama should have sent some folks on Wall Street to jail instead of letting them pocket the bonuses in the bailouts.
While Obama spent more then he should have, 8 years of Bush Jr caused a big chunk of the meltdown by not being more fiscally conservative.
The problem as a conservative moderate the right calls me a libtard and the left call me a facist. I know we are in a bad spot when the moderates are viewed as crazy by both the extremes.

Mostly where they were built in the 50's and need to be replaced.

Pennies on the dollar if true.
How much do they build or maintain?
Try getting a white kid under 30 to landscape or put on a roof.
Unless the native kids work you need folks to do what they will not do.

Then how will current politicians be able to launder money and enter Congress with average wealth and leave millionaires?

I said it on the first page and got 11 down votes.
I guess we have been sold on debt for so long nobody takes the low hanging fruit first,
