While - post stimulus - we have been reducing our annual deficit via massive growth for 80+ months and the Republican cuts ... we still lose about 600B a year
Sorry but there is not shock to the budget from 10-20B
think about 100+Billion of hurricane relief - that may grow to 200B
sorry but no such bump or consideration is on the table
(and the amount you talk about is ONLY the CSR the rest is inside the budget no different than Defense. The amount is about 7-8 B a year based on the work of Alexander and Murray to legislate that line item)
