I'm going to look into this and read it this weekend. But, I think we need to do everything. Eliminate all the tax cuts, lower SS payments, means test some benefits, reduce the costs per student in schools, reduce medical payments by getting healthier, cut 25% of the military (close bases, bring troops back,...) etc...
It is just like losing weight. A person can stay the same weight by doing a little, but to change your weight you need to do more. Our debt is obese and just doing a little will only keep it around 14 trillion.
I just wonder (and China is too) if we are devaluing our currency in order to pay off the debt. (I'll make a new thread about this tomorrow).
