Cut Taxes Again?

Sooo, the plan is to cut taxes, cut discretionary spending and return the U. S. Government to solvency?

Cut taxes again? At a time when the country's debt soars into the stratosphere? Oh yes, the spending cuts will keep our balance sheet healthy.

What is included in discretionary spending?
Education? Transportation (what about all those structurally unsound bridges)? Disaster relief (FEMA)? Food and Drug Administration? Security and Exchange Commission? The Interior (perhaps we can sell off our national parks)? Agriculture? Commerce? Justice? Treasury? Environmental Protection Agency? Housing and Urban Development? Nuclear Regulatory Agency? State Department? Minerals and Mines Management? Forestry? Student loans? Foreign Aid to places like Pakistan? Veterans' Affairs? The repeal of Health Care?

According to one just elected representative last night, discretionary does NOT include Defense or Homeland Security. What about Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security? What about Congressional staffs?

Without revenue, it will be moot. Without revenue every last item in the budget will be on the table.
