The Federal Budget needs to be cut and I can think of one cut all of us could agree with: Eliminate the Retirement Pensions for Presidents, Cabinet officials, Congressmen, and Senators until the National Debt (currently $14 Trillion) is paid off. These are the guys who put us into Debt, so it is only fitting that if Social Security and other programs need to be cut these guys should loose their pensions till the National Debt is paid off. That will be a huge incentive for current politicians to NEVER spend more than they have and to start taking their jobs--and OUR tax money--seriously.
