Its not hard to cut spending, the only problem is that it requires a veto-proof majority in the House of Representatives, Senate, and the President's approval
Yea, so easy.
Donald Trump supporters are Bernie Sanders supporters and vice versa.
Simply not true. I won't spend time explaining why Sanders is better then Trump. But you're right when you say trump will kill the republican party.
About how to have a budget equilibrated. And without cutting social security, which is in fact sustainable right now and lends money to the US gvt.
US deficit was 439 billion dollars in 2015.
=> Cut military spending by half. 25% of the US military spending is wasted, so -25% won't make no harm. Cut another 25% cause you already have an overwelming army and you don't need that much military spending anyway. 598/2 = 299 billion dollars saved
=> Cut corporate subsidies. All of them. Corporate Tax Breaks ~150 billion dollars in 2015. There's other subsidies like farm and diverse energy ones that cost more then 50 billion dollars a year. 200 billion dollars saved.
=> Fix tax evasion. There's actually 2.1 trillion dollars in profit overseas to avoid paying taxes, total tax loss 620 billion dollars + hundred billion dollars in fines. Let's say a 1 trillion dollars check for the US gvt. I'd say fixing the tax evasion for corporations and individuals could give 100 billion dollars (at least) every year for the government.
So, my plan covers the US deficit, and gives a surplus of 160 billion dollars a year. The US debt will also shrink by 1 trillion dollars if the US go after corporate tax evasion. Then just use the GDP growth and your debt in covered a few decades as the debt interest spending also lowers and so do the interest rates. And I've just scratched the surface, there's plenty of other stuff you can cut without touching in welfare.
And after the US debt is paid, you can use that surplus to spend in real welfare (not the one the US gives, it's a joke calling that welfare or socialism) or go for a republican plan and cut taxes.
