How many trains of dollars does the country in debt? I’m not sure I care if a cut is political. Cuts have to be made.

Not actually though, most reasonable people know that the only solution out will be war and massive restructuring.

You do care if a cut is political. "We cut farm subsidies because Iowa voted against us" is a political vote. "We cut defense spending because we believe in peace through diplomacy" is a political cut. "We cut disease research because we think vaccines cause autism" is a political cut.
