Pelosi's and harry reids travel expenses and clintons secret service coverage.
With 2/3 of Welfare...
Health insurance for children. F*ck 'em. Let 'em buy their own.
You forgot Head Start...
Actually, all they have to do is rein in the false charges to Medicare, the Welfare Mothers driving Cadillacs, etc and there will be PLENTY of money for everything.
But, that would make the Democrats unpopular with both their voter base and the doctor's PACS, so they won't do that...
No, there won't be, and that's why cutting spending has always been so hard for both parties.
Congressional pay and benefits!
You're right. They'll just spend whatever they save on something even more stupid...
The White House.
Definitely Congressional pensions and health care. Let them pay for their own like most of the rest of us.
The premise is flawed. What do you mean by it seems impossible to continue to fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. We are doing just fine in funding the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The war on international terrorists is not adding to the national debt and the budget is closer to being balanced than at the start of the war. At the rate the economy is booming, since that tax rate cuts for all Americans in 2000, the budget will be in surplus in just a few years LOL
