Arguments
All you'd have to do is cut military spending... done!
There are plenty of programs that can be cut, waste to be eliminated. Going paperless is a great way to start. Getting rid of the bloated public aid like Medicaid is another.
Counterarguments
Assuming an annual growth rate of 4% renders the statement moot.
