To paraphrase, "but after the quick recovery it will be stronger than ever".

Just like Greece?

After ten years of austerity this was their economy:

GDP growth 1.4%
Unemployement 22%
Poverty at 34%

Elmo doesn't give two ----- about the middle class or poor. He's just after some fat contracts to further enrich himself. Time and time again letting the billionaires in charge is a recipe for disaster for anyone not in the .01%.

Cutting $2 trillion out of the annual budget sure sounds like a groovy tact, but where would that come from?

$1.46 Trillion social security?
$912 Billion health
$874 B Medicare
$874 B Defense
$325 B VA

$4.45 Trillion... that is what Elmo wants spending to be.

That leaves out interest on the debt, education, employment, social service, snap, transportation and all other spending.

Or is he just going to cut 1/3 out of ALL spending categories?

Does that include the sacred bloated pig of the DOD?

Does that include cutting interest rates on the debt by 1/3?

His goal is ridiculous on it's face.
