NO I don't -- so what are you advocating?

I think we need to cut spending.

Where should we start? Lets talk:

> Lets see Defense represents 53% of USA discretionary spending -- the largest segment by a very, very long shot. Can we start there?

> Debt-financing represents the second largest segment at/about 16 to 20 cents (P&I) <-- depending on who you listen to (true calcs') -- and growing faster by everyone's observation.
