I want mild cuts...300B from the military and all subsidies for Gas, Oil, Plutonium; coal, too. Time for Exxon to build a navy to protect its tankers.

"I guarantee that if he wins. The solution will be taxes on everybody to pay for his prolific spending"
That's winger speak for "If you don't give richies a break, we'll let the Obama tax cuts expire for everybody."
Been there, done that already; House won't pass this.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama's fellow Democrats in the Senate on Wednesday won passage of a bill to renew tax cuts for tens of millions of Americans, while letting some rates rise for the wealthiest, in a largely symbolic vote.
The legislation, certain to be rejected by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, lets Democrats claim in advance of the November 6 elections that they passed tax cuts for most Americans, only to be stymied by Republicans.
"It's time for House Republicans to drop their demand for another $1 trillion giveaway to the wealthiest Americans," Obama said in a statement after the vote.
The Senate rejected a Republican alternative with the help of two Republicans. That bill would have extended the lower rates for all income levels, including earnings above the $250,000 threshold.
