Chinu,
please note, I did not specify ANY solutions in my post. I simply am showing everyone what the math is telling us. I believe we need all sorts of cuts and all sorts of tax increases. And for the record, I believe we need to cut military spending at a minimum back to the levels during the Clinton era. Clinton had foreign policy and military spending exactly right. That was the golden age in my opinion, despite all the partisan acrimony back then as well, the fiscal and economic picture was very bright.

Anyway, I updated my post with a Summary section. Please go back and look at it and tell me what you think the solutions should be. I am all ears. Most of the solutions talked about on these threads, I agree with. What I dont' agree with is that everything is ok.

"Isn't that the main reason the Communists in Russia collapsed?"

Probably, but it won't cause the cave-dwelling terrorists to collapse. It may yet cause US to collapse! The military hammer is not the tool that will defeat terrorism.
