I don't see anything troublesome of any significance or consequence.

To cut spending there will have to be cuts no matter what line item you want to pick.

For example in the case of medicare if there is truly a fraudulent practice discovered that pays out billions of dollars per year....I am sure no matter if you are an R or D that fraud should be eliminated. Right....anybody disagree to eliminate the fraudulent payments?

And when the fraudulent practice is eliminated those billions can now be CUT from the medicare budget.

I don't care who does it or what they call it it is a cut in funding or reduction or what ever.

The real problem is the Harry Reids and Obama's of the world do not want to upset those who are getting the fraudulent payments therefore.....business as usual...nothing gets done.

So a guy like Ryan who will do what is right fiscally....yup he is going to make a bunch of people unhappy.....the politicians who don't want to "change" anything, the ones getting the fraud money and those who support the practices because the party said so.

The out of control spending has to be stopped and the money CUT from the budget....once we get a budget that is......

Nice thing about accounting you can't politicize the results. Put the numbers in and turn the crank. If spending exceeds revenues do something about it..
