I largely agree with you CC, but to say that no one was complaining about the military cuts is laughable. It's been brought up in this thread and IIRC it came up in the election thread as well.

I don't know what the fix is for healthcare, but frankly it seems too simple to just say let's cut admin positions. I have a feeling that if that was the great panacea it's presented as then it would be done?

That being said we could have the deficit issue solved in a heartbeat. As Warren Buffett says, just make a law that if the government runs a deficit of more than 3% of GDP that they are not eligible for re-election. I have no doubt that the deficits would disappear as soon as some occupational risk was added!
