But the amount of money is trivial, so who cares?

Exactly.

You only balance the long term budget by cutting defense, medical expenditures, social security, and income security.  Anyone dwelling on or fighting over cuts to other programs is just trying to get themselves elected/reelected.  It's as simple as that.

Paul's plan balances the budget in two years without touching (directly, anyway) SS and medicare.

Yes, an entire budget chart of pretty buzzwords.

I wouldn't go rubbing that thing in people's faces.  If you even glance at some of it casually you will realize that "plan" would send the country right back into recession.  And slashing the budget of the CDC?!  Really?

Paul's plan balances the budget in two years without touching (directly, anyway) SS and medicare.

That is not a serious budget.  I give him credit though.  That is exactly the type of stuff you have to do if you don't want to take a penny from Social Security or Medicare.  Trust me though if that thing was ever implemented the term buyers remorse would have to be redefined.

Yes, the economy will suddenly tumble without more FDA and military spending ::

Why is everyone convinced art will somehow die if the government doesn't fund it?

Why do Republicans think everyone will stop using oil and Exxon will suddenly go bankrupt if its industry isn't subsidized by taxpayers to the tune of billions a year?

I dunno.  It's just one of those great American mysteries that will never be solved.

Exxon should stop receiving subsidies.

Do you concede yet?
