It's hardly a decent back-and-forth when you say that everyone who disagrees with you is insane.... and reveal in the process that you lack even a minimal understanding of the fed budget -- you don't know what the SS trust fund is, you overestimate the size by an order of magnitude, etc.
I was merely suggesting that you learn some basics before getting on your soapbox on this subject. And I think you should add to the basics I pointed out this: How much more will gov't revenue decline in the next five years due to Bush tax cuts? Regardless of whether you think the cuts are good or bad, you have to take that into account when talking about balancing the budget. I suspect you're gonna need to make your $400BB in cuts just to maintain the current deficit at status quo.
[cue fantasy line about how the cuts pay for themselves by boosting the economy, and let's all pretend that recent job gains have absolutely nothing to do with 1% interest rates or infusion of gov't deficit spending into the economy]
