Just because the Judge is SHOUTING liberty at us, doesn't mean you have to shout as well, Peter.

    In the future, just stick with "Fuck off, troll."

My budget plan is to cut all discretionary spending. Discretionary spending is everything that is not defense social security or medicare.

Defense will be cut 50%.

Medicare will be cut 20% and will be allowed to grow at 1 half of the inflation rate each year

Social security will be cut by 20% and will be allowed to grow at negative the rate of inflation.

I will cap the debt at 13 trillion dollars. For every dollar above 13 trillion that the US owes 100 current or former Bureaucrats will be executed. after the first 10,000 bureaucrats have been killed the next dollar over will include the execution of 10 current and/or former members of congress.

The debt limit will be decreased by 1 trillion dollars each year debt is below 500 billion. afterward debt will be allowed to increase at one quarter the rate of inflation.
