Message:: [QUOTE="yakpoo, post: 1147764, member: 18157"]I agree 100% :thumb:. I only mention PBS funding because that's the argument "du jour".  I would like to see EVERY spending program listed out. Give the list to both the Republicans and Democrats to prioritize...most important to least important.  Once that's done, assign a score to each program based on priority, add up both the Republican and Democratic scores for each program, then sort the final list in decending order.  Start cutting programs at the bottom and work your way up until $1500 Billion is cut from the budget. If either side doesn't want a program cut entirely, then they have to pony up another off-setting cut starting from the top of their list. I would like to see what that exercise produces...could be interesting. EDIT: Sorry Jim...just saw your post. I guess it's unlikely we'll solve the world's problems on CT, anyway.  :arguing: :3three: <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />encil:[/QUOTE]
