Well good luck getting anything past Congress. The last deficit reduction bill was a joke and no party was willing to cut spending signfificantly. here is a budget simulator from the NYtimes. i like the way it is set up and it shows how easy it is to make some sort of significant cuts to the budget. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/11/13/weekinreview/deficits-graphic.html PP Party Blogger http://peoplesparakeetparty.blogspot.com/
That simulator is pretty weak to be honest, but balancing the budget without raising taxes is nonetheless pretty easy to do with it.
