You sound like a man with nothing.

Spending isn't problem. Revenue shortage is.

It's both. Revenues are far below average and expenditures are far above average. That's why the budget needs to be fixed with adjustments on both sides of the equation. We spend way too much on defense, for example. That whole homeland security disaster installed under the GOP - dozens of new bureaucracies with not a dime to fund it - the Medicare expansion w/o a dime worth of funding, trillions of dollars of tax cuts without reducing outlays. That's where we are. And they want to be the shepherds of the budget? Puhleeze.

But you would take the Democrats, who haven't reduced anything you mentioned above, but have still increased spending, in a heartbeat.
