In all seriousness, I'm not sure somebody can win on a campaign based on reducing the debt or deficit.
It would basically be, vote for me and I'll take away/reduce certain programs/benefits/cuts, so that we can save money. People won't go for it. I like to think of it as a toothpaste bottle. Once that spending is out there, getting it reduced is almost impossible.
And this goes for both sides. Republican farmers like their handouts just as much as anybody, trust me on that. Everybody wants to reduce a program they don't use, never the ones they do.
Long story short, I don't think our deficit ever gets reduced until we're practically forced to, and it will be too late at that point. We're screwed.
