If  you were a member of Congress and had a $1.65 trillion deficit to tackle how would you go about addressing that issue?

A. make $100's of billions in budget reductions

B. count budget reductions with your fingers

C. raise taxes and continue spending full speed ahead

If you answered C; your Michael Moore or work for the New York Times.

If you answered B; you most likely work on Capitol Hill for the Republican leadership

If you answered A; you are a conservative who is frustrated at the fact that budget reductions total $10 billion so far when the GAO found $100-200 billion in waste and duplication in programs.  $61 billion in cuts as proposed by the House is a good start but does not do much when there is $105 billion in spending for Obamacare that needs to be defunded.  Between the Heritage Foundation, Cato Institute and Senator Rand Paul over $1 trillion in spending can be eliminated in one year.  That is the kind of budget renovations we needed to be talking about in the halls of Congress and across the nations yet it is a conversation we are not having and the longer we don't have it the more inaction cost us.  Over $200 billion in new debt was accumulated in the month of February, that is more than the entire budget deficit for certain years in the Bush administration.

The fiscal problems this nation is facing are being added to at a breakneck pace and is counted is astronomically high numbers but they are problems we have to have the courage to solve.  

As Ronald Reagan said: "we don't have deficits because people are taxed too little, we have deficits because big government spends too much."

There are countless ideas out there to cut out a sizable portion of the budget deficit and leave it open for total elimination swiftly in only a few years time.  There is the idea of limiting Federal spending to 18% and less of Gross Domestic Product so as to inhibit any future deficit spending impulses by Congress.  Then there is the various methods and means available under the banner of privatization of entitlement programs that can save those programs and future tax payers trillions of dollars.  

We conservatives have solutions to what is going on, now we need some leadership and resolve to enact those legislative items required to right this ship of State and save it from a fiscal abyss.
