Fiscal Chickenhawks

To all you "fiscal hawks" so obsessed about cutting government spending:  great idea!  Wish you'd been around during the spending "glory days" of 2001-2004!  Don't forget, "Reagan proved that deficits don't matter."  But as for now, I'll start taking you seriously as soon as you identify exactly what spending you would cut.  How many F-35s do we really need at $300 million each?  Exactly whose Social Security should be cut; how much of a fee reduction should doctors take to fund Medicare cuts?  Which tax-subsidies should be done away--the subsidy of home mortgages?  Charitable contributions?  Oil exploration and production?  Should market rates be charged for mineral claims and grazing on public lands?  How many carrier task groups need to be operational in peacetime?   Because cutting funding for PBS and Amtrak and eliminating foreign aid might make you feel good by hurting the people you don't like, but they won't do much at all towards establishing real fiscal discipline.  What's that?--you won't identify where you would cut,  because it might make you unpopular and you might lose the next election?  Sounds like the whining of fiscal "chickenhawks" to me.
