Are we getting back to "means testing" Social Security and Medicare benefits and reducing defense spending? Where are the other costs totaling $980 billion that are candidates for cutting?
I just reviewed the numbers from the web site that I posted. The numbers are not $120 BILLION dollars, it's ONE TRILLION, NINE HUNDRED SEVENTY FOUR BILLION, FORTY TWO MILLION, TWO HUNDRED FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. nO SMALL SUM TO CUT!
