Sorry to burst your bubble folks but the projected deficit is bigger than all non-defense discretionary spending combined. It is arithmetically impossible to balance the budget with spending cuts alone. See the Concord Coalition (bipartisan budget hawks) if you doubt it.

Not that we should be trying to balance the budget right now. That would be taking a page from herbert hoover's playbook - not a good plan.
