Tonight\'s Show: Stossel Balances the Budget (FBN @ 9pm & Midnight ET)
Earlier this week, I wondered how the president would “cast himself as more of a fiscal hawk†in Tuesday’s State of the Union Address, as Reuters reported. Well, I got my answer: He proposed to freeze non-defense, discretionary spending for five years, which he claims would “reduce the deficit by more than $400 billion over the next decade.â€
$400 Billion sounds like a lot…but that’s spread out over ten years, so it’s really more like $40 Billion per year. The CBO projects the average annual deficit over the next 10 years to be $768 Billion – that’s nearly 20 times larger than that. “Fiscal hawkâ€? More like “fiscal chickenâ€. We’re going to have to cut a lot more than $40 Billion per year if we’re going to eliminate the deficit.
So, that’s just what I’ll do on tonight’s show (FBN @ 9pm & midnight ET): I’ll make the big spending cuts necessary to eliminate the deficit.
