Yes, Mark, this would be the best place to start. But jobs will be
lost, the only issue is which jobs. Congress does not want to cut any
jobs because these are voters. They only want to cut things that will
piss off the fewest number of people who vote. The poor do not vote so
they are fair game. Of course, a combination of increased taxes
especially at the high end and careful cuts over a period of time
would be the way to go. But as you note - fat chance.

Ed,
Huge cuts could be made in our military budget which is bloated,
wasteful and largely redundant. (I was a USAF Officer and speak with
first hand knowledge).
That alone would make an enormous difference.
Try and get Congress to approve it! Fat chance!
