Much of our budget is untouchable, and Trump promised to pay off the $20,000,000,000,000 debt in 10 years. If he accomplishes this unimaginable feat it will likely mark him as one of the very best Presidents in history, no matter how he pulls it off, no matter what else he does. Even if you didn't need the approval of a gaggle of 80 year old corporate lackeys, it's a daunting task. This link has all the info you need to pick where you make your cuts to come up with a total of 11% off last year's budget. http://www.usdebtclock.org/ Post your cuts below.
Can't do it with cuts. The best that can happen is hold the spending, perhaps with a cut of a silly expenditure here an there. The only way to pay down the debt it to sharply increase the GDP, and thereby increase the revenue while shackling the spenders. If Trump doesn't get this done, then it won't matter from him on out. The debit service cost will be too dominate. But if he can get it started, the improvement will snowball with the pay down increasing as the service cost decline. A really tough jobs since we can not hold the level of taxation stable while attempting to compete in a world that competes for the revenue producers, which will only get worse unless catastrophic events alter the track we all run on. Everyone needs to pray for Trump to succeed. He maybe the last to have a shot. This will still leave work for the next President, as the Ponzi scheme called Social Security still needs to be fixed. I think Trump is right to put that off, with all he must do or the Ponzi scheme won't matter either.
