    Can't cut spending on entitlements significantly. That's what would be required to reduce spending. Old people are multiplying, and they vote. Young people are not having kids. And Daddy gets elected on anti-immigrant platform to boot.

    Spending is going to go up. Shall we pay cash or put it on a credit card?

    Anti-immigrant? We currently allow over a million legal immigrants into this country each year. Nearly 45 million people currently living in the US weren't born here. Current US population is 327 Million up from 304 million in 2008.

    How many is enough O'Keefed?

    Getting even more illegals on the dole will help with the deficit

    You can pretend the Right Wing base isn't anti-legal immigrant, as well as being anti-illegal immigrant. But they are.

    I’m hearing they pay in way more than they take out. Did you know California is the worlds 5th largest economy? All done by liberals with a progressive agenda. How do you like them apples?

    Spending needs to be cut. Including military. Cuts to nearly every agency, if not eliminating some altogether are needed.

    I'd start with 15% off the military budget for openers, and then trim significant chunks (25%+) off all entitlement programs and completely do away with useless shit like the National Endowment for the Arts. Oh yeah, and huge cuts to the Department of Education (lolwut?) and the EPA (FTG). There are probably tons of meaningless agencies that could be shuttered completely.
    Pretty close to actual. 15% for military is a no-brainer if/when all the other fuck NATO and UN motherfuckers start paying their own freight.

    Just shave 10% across the board. Period. EPA, DEA, FDA, every cabinet department, on and on. SSA could trim that much with all the old fucks that should take forced retirement.

    If you can't trim 10% in a bloated organization by just concentrating on getting rid of deadweight and inefficiencies, you shouldn't be in a managerial position. I hold that to be true in pretty much every organization I've ever gone in to clean up. Usually when all is said and done The Throbber/Hatchet realizes bigger cuts than that.

    We can pretend you're not a lying racist fuck but you are. Your claim was that our ability to pay for these entitlements is being hurt by among other things, the lack of new immigrants. We don't lack new immigrants O'Keefed.

    I would recommend making larger assumptions about bloat so you can hypothetically cut even more!

    The only pretending in this scenario is you

    The left has spent years trying to blur the line even going so far as to proclaim illegal as hate speech

    Pelosi is now calling these children of god our "newcomers"
