That's true - not just spending reduction in all the places that the government spends today, but an elimination of many failed and redundant programs.

Logically, we must reverse the cycle - have spending driven by what we collect in taxes, not vice-versa. That's the way every other business in the world does it - unless they go out of business. Debt, if necessary at all, has to be bounded, at a level that is not too burdensome, and retired at the earliest opportunity.
