Numbers

It sorta looks to me like if we put the spending freeze in place as McCain proposes, excluding the programs he can’t stop, we get to cut a total of 28 Billion. which coincidentally is almost perfectly identical to the 26 billion we currently collect in Estate anf Gift taxes, a tax that McCain wants to eliminate. The spending freeze wouldn’t do anything to impact the 407 Billion budget deficit, but hey, why worry about that when there’s estate taxes that rich people pay that can be eliminated in full by cutting the social programs that middle-income and poor people rely on. Let’s separate the classes by an even larger gulf!
