All spending needs drastic cuts.

ESPECIALLY the military!

We don't need to be in Korea...Germany...Italy...Okinawa...Or anywhere else. Pull the plug.

I agree wholeheartedly, but what are the poor families with earners in those industries going to do for work???

There's only so much IT to go around. Besides, even that industry will be completely outsourced some day.

Cutting $100 billion in government spending would be devastating to the economy.

Cutting $50 billion in targeted government spending and raising $50 billion in taxes would be peachy.

Either way, $100 billion comes out of the overall economy. One way protects the government sector at the expense of the private sector. The other way cracks the Obama Cone of Protection.

Welcome to austerity! Let the flames begin. I expect to see government workers and defense contractors burning tires in the streets. Huh what......"The Bachelor" is down to three ladies.....

All I need is these drones and this moonshine and that porno...that's all I need.

How the hell did you already get your card for cablefare and barbecuefare? Those aren't supposed to drop until after the gasfare cards come out?

:-k

All I need is some drones and moonshine, a little porn, some matches and that cigar...that's all I need.

Doc, we'll become self-reliant by barterin', flippin, and rescuin' bars'. Just select something that matches your skill set & you're off to your first million.🍺

It happens! No really. Watch TrueTV some time.

But in all seriousness, the DC metro area (especially northern Virginia) is full of military contractors. They're going to be hit especially bad.

I hear ya. It needs to happen though.

Bring 'em home.

Are you saying that Americans don't have the skills to do IT work and that is the reason for outsourcing? Is that what you really believe?

I'm sure we'll still find a way to wage war and destabilize the globe.

You might be surprised at how this is becoming more the reason and less purely about cost.
