It is politically impossible to cut spending.

We part ways there, amigo!
OK, tell me how to touch welfare, SS and Medicare without getting flamed into a crispy critter?
A trillion bucks per year of debt, and you can't touch 50% of the budget?
Go to this pie chart, and show me where you can slash and politically survive, not just you, but your Party.
http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/us_budget_pie_chart If I'm in the opposition Party, and you slash anything other than military spending, I can find 100 ways to win a landslide for my Party in the next election. Then I undo all of your cuts, and the socialists rejoice.
If you have a good idea, bring it on, I'm interested.
