How about start with taking the final year of Clinton budget.. calculate line by line as a percentage of gross revenues at that time and then use what we should be spending line by line today based on today's revenues? Bring revenues up to the percentage levels of over 20% back then (eliminate Bush tax cuts to accomplish that?) and adjust expenditures downward to their percentage of revenues line by line to get back to basics again. Of course not taking into account homeland security and specific intelligence measures to make us safer post 9/11 that did not exist yet or interest expense based on market forces at the time.. yep shared sacrifice whether the military, medicare, taxes on the rich or funding for NPR...
