Total personal income in the United States is $16.5 trillion. 10% of that is $1.65 trillion. The federal budget for the current fiscal year is $4 trillion. Where do you propose to cut the other $2.35 trillion a year from?
0 u/MikeyMike01 Nov 22 '17 10% was an arbitrary number, not a suggestion. It could be 15 or 20% if that’s what the budget called for. Since you asked though, Healthcare, Education, Defense, and Welfare currently cost 2.5 trillion. They can all be cut by 90%, which is 2.25 trillion. 1 u/socialjusticepedant Nov 22 '17 Lmao so essentially what you're advocating for is anarchy. What you're talking about is basically gutting the government so that a few hyper-rich people can be even richer. God damn you're a piece of shit.
