You have to use different tools in different situations, but none of them costs more than $200 billion a year

I will respect what you are asking if you can honestly answer this:
How would President Anti-Liberal balance the budget without raising taxes?
The US will spend about 3.1 trillion dollars this year. The US will collect about 2.1 trillion in revenue. Out of that 2.1 trillion, 200 billion will go towarRAB interest on our debt, 800 billion will go to pensions and 500 billion will go to Medicare. (NOT medicaid.)
To me, THIS VERY YEAR, those things are untouchable. We can't in good conscious tell our creditors to fuck off and we can't tell people who have retired after working their whole lives, who have been paying into that system and can't as a group pay more into it any more that they will be cut off.
So that leaves 600 billion left. For everything else. The military, boarder patrol, Medicaid, highway, NASA, education, NOAA, FEMA, IRS, everything else.
What does your magic 8-Ball say?
I am not some stupid liberal. I care at least as deeply as you do regarding our spending, debt and taxes. How realistic are you in solving this issue?

...which is why you'll never be rich (well, unless you get it as wealth redistribution from the politicians you vote for)
Chop everything 40% or whatever it may need to be. Do it over 3 or 4 years if you want. No one can bitch then because everything is getting cut.
It's been known for awhile that SS is a ponzi. You could tell it was from the first recipient. Paid in like 20 bucks and got out 20,000???? If you didn't make other plans, well that's too bad. Time for some personal responsibility.
Really though Medicare is the huge problem.

Or we raise taxes on those whose wages aren't stagnant over the next 3 or 4 years.
"You dared to be too poor to save 2 years of living expenses?! And now the Great Depression has shut down almost all of the jobs in your city? Then die!"
Yep ... sound policy there!
A huge problem for fiscal "conservatives", maybe. People in the US like their single-payer insurance, and it's not going anywhere.

There is no tax cap on medicare.
Who said I wouldn't raise taxes? I'd raise them on the people who aren't paying any now.
God Emperor Anti-Liberal (because President Anti-Liberal wouldn't have a super majority in BOTH houses like Obama did for 2 years), would invalidate our entire tax code and install a 17% flat tax with ZERO deductions. All Americans would pay the same RATE. It would increase for some, decrease for others.
Then God Emperor Anti-Liberal would stop collecting Social Security taxes from EVERYONE and for the next 5 years, the system would run as normal, then end. Basically giving everyone 5 years to get their OWN house in order.
God Emperor Anti-Liberal would go to all the countries we have troops and bases in and tell them, they have 6 months to decide if they want to pay us 150% of the TOTAL COST it costs to keep our troops there (maint, salaries, rent, electricity, EVERYTHING) or we leave and either sell them the base or DESTROY IT, and they can pay the money to guard their own damn country.
You already know my stance on Illegals. Call it a jobs program and revenue enhancer as we seize the assets of repeat criminals who keep coming into our country illegally.
Then a shitload of agencies would be shut down. Department of Education (that is up to the states for the most part), ATF (all three of those things, Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms are legal), etc, etc.
Medicare would SERIOUSLY be slashed and harder to get on, Medicaid would be altered so that pretty much only the very needy would get it. I'd up the penalties for fraud of those two to obscene levels. If you want to defraud The People, then go to prison (hard labor) for a long time.
Now that we are out of a lot of countries (or they are being paid for by other nations for their protection), I bet you could cut military spending by 50%. I'd be developing more tactical nukes. If you want to fuck with us, glow muther fucker. Why throw expensive bodies that require constant mant when a good nuke works? We don't still use spears and shielRAB, lets use our technology.
That's my START as God Emperor Anti-Liberal.
