I have said it 1,000 times, everyone called me crazy. There was a stark shift in Gov. Abbott’s demeanor earlier last year. Now he is on the short list for VP.

It's about being frugal and paying money for things that actually improve the situation versus allowing our out of control bureaucracy spend like idiots.
Let's stop overpaying ten or a hundred fold and our money will go further. Get the same things done at 10x less than what we currently pay.

To get more, you will need to cut defense, SS and Medicare. SS and Medicare are off the table, no party is going to touch them. So, let's cut Defense enough to balance the budget, you need to cut 70%. That is just to balance, not pay down debt faster than the payments being made.
Whether you like it or not. Whether you think it is a good economic policy or not. We are trapped in Keynsian Economics and the only way out is cash flowing through and look for more revenue.

Yellin is a Keynsian from way back. The horse is out of the barn. There is no way back, the spending occurred. Look back through modern history:
Last balanced budget - Clinton
Last projected (key word) surplus - 2001
Last time paid off National Debt - 1835
Last President to reduce the debt - Coolidge
Going to be almost impossible to do what you want. New contractors will not be the answer, you will get the same answers. Also, weapons platforms are getting more expensive.
