Government spending must be reduced and the reductions must come from all points of the compass. Nothing should be sacrosanct, including entitlements and the big military that both the Left and the Right cherish and want to protect. There is no room in the house for anyone's sacred-cows.

The M's will have the benefit of planning without the govt involvement... if that's what they do. I would be glad if they took this lesson to every glad handed govt program, department, and entitlement. There needs to be a serious examination of govt expansion... the intent... the results... a practical examination minus the emotional baggage. Animals didn't need zoos to survive... or go extinct.

For many reasons.  Primarily because the demand for the same is reduced.  It can be reduced when a country consumes 850 billion of foreign oil each year which tilts the balance of trade and weakens the dollar.   It can be reduced when the nation increases the supply of the same therein diminishing the value of the same.   Right now the dollar is getting stronger as our balance of trade improves......despite the actions of the fed.   Inflation is simply a hidden tax, but the American people vote for the same everyday they drive their gas guzzler, and you may try to blame government, but the dollar weakens most from adjustments to our insatiable oil demand, which now seems to have production which shoots your theories temporarily out of the park.  It will only take a few years in this environment to have the % of GDP to debt decrease to historical lows as we conserve and switch to home grown renewable energy, and domestic oil and gas.
