Seems like a reasonable way to cut the ever expanding deficit. The real question is will the Obama administration welcome the ideas, especially from outsiders?

- byoung2 16y agoThe real question is will the Obama administration welcome the ideas, especially from outsiders? I think it's more complex than that. I'm sure the administration will welcome the ideas, but the federal government is like an aircraft carrier while businesses are like speedboats...you can't turn the government around as quickly. It will probably take several acts of congress to get any of these implemented, and senators and representatives will likely fight every one because it will kill jobs in their districts.
- jranck 16y agoToo true, hence the need for more businessmen/women in office. I would think a lot of cuts they're recommending could be accomplished through executive orders as a lot of them are involving federal programs and mandates. If not we could only hope both sides could come to an agreement and pass them through the houses.
