Scumbria,

Should we eliminate the military and Social Security (which make up more than 50% of the budget?)

We went through approximately 50% cut in military, in real dollars. If the outstanding debt is of such high concern to you, we should surely have cuts of the same magnitude in other programs.

In a typical Democrat fashion, you look at the solution only on one side of the equation - tax hikes. There has never been a problem out there that couldn't be solved by a tax hike and spending increase.

I think Bush will have a balanced approach of keeping the growth of spending down hopefully to the level of inflation, and with a cut in taxes.
