balance the budget in six years. is that something that could get traction in the senate? yeah, because again that would do it. but that s a political answer rather than a policy answer. let me tell you why. we have so much waste. i put out nine trillion dollars of potential cuts. when you do a 1% solution where you cut everything 1%, there are some things that the government has a responsibility to do. and what you do is you don t reform em, you don t improve em, you don t make em more effective you just cut 1%. the stuff that is wasting you cut 1% instead of 100%. the stuff that might be what we want to do, you cut it too. it is the chicken s way out. members of the congress need to study and know and you can find nine trillion reasons to cut the budget if you just look at back in the black. sean: they are saying if you wanted to cut education by 10%, and you can come to
that is an inappropriate policy answer. now you ve got political kickback out of congress wanting to know who s going to explain to them what s happening. that should not be general carter hamm on a television interview explain what we re doing in the middle east. that s who we saw in the last few hours the face of the explanation, giving us some answers to the questions. chris, general mccaffrey, kerj ja colonel jacobs. we ll have more news. time for the your business entrepreneur of the week. brendan and john were beach volleyball player whose turns their passion into a year round activity. they created the sand box in mystic, connecticut, the only indoor volleyball facility in new england. attracting plays from around the region to this unique concept.
