Those that continue to assert that "cut, cap and balance" was the way to go or even politically possible, haven't done the arithmetic.
What would the country look like if we "capped" federal spending at $3.9 trillion and then "cut" expenses by $1.6 trillion to "balance"? If the Tea Party had such a plan, what was it? Where would $1.6 trillion be cut? What would the effect have been on the U.S. economy? The world economy?
I know an answer will take more than fourteen words and will actually have to include some numbers, but go ahead and give it a try.
