every member of Congress, the Pres, their staffs, the Pentagon,,,, everybody in DC got sprayed by a magic Fairy Dust that made them ALL, every one of them, Motivated to work on this big problem?? (I know, just give it a rest)
There is a problem with revenue, but the bigger problem is Spending. Right?? Solve the Spending Problem first.

The quickest answer in the Business world is to cut Payroll. For the Business world, the last 3 years of recession has pretty much trimmed off most of any fat, thus the Unemployment rate. DC added payroll at the same time.
So, given the tranquilized state of Congress/DC,, where do they cut spending?? Specifics, not rhetoric.

The big targets are Social Security, Medicare and Defense?  Homeland Security? Welfare. Many others.
How do they cut these necessities and "entitlement programs" in a way that makes sense?

A proposal for an all Republican DC will not wash. The "Spend Money You Don't Have" disease has been around for more than 40 years, involving both parties. I am a registered Republican, and I ain't happy for 2012,,,,, Yet! I think bashing Obama ain't gonna' work either. A Demo candidate with the RIGHT Answers could sweep it.

Answer my question. What SPECIFIC CUTS in spending could be made to at least begin to reverse this slide toward financial disaster?
