We have a $12 trillion economy, a $3 trillion federal budget, and an expected $500 billion deficit for the year. I don't think saving a few billion a month is going to have a big positive effect.
The basic problem we have is a combination of falling tax receipts, slowing growth, and higher inflation than we have seen in years. What are the prescriptions for such an economy? I would prefer to see continued low taxes to encourage economic activity, a stronger dollar to offset inflation, and as little bailout as possible so we can let the economy churn through the housing mess and get back on track.
