No, the solutions are not pretty. When more than 60% of the federal budget is entitlements and interest on the debt, and we are spending 1.5 times what we take in for income, everything other than entitlements can be set to $0 and we still would not be out of our hole.
Rationalise (not blindly cut) spending on defence, ss and medicare/medicaid (the big areas of the budget).
Stop pansying around with the 3% of the non-defence discretionary spending and return tax rates on those earning over $250,000 to where they were under Cilnton………
