(+5) Federal spending should not exceed 20% of GDP

Reasons to agree:

1. Because we are in debt we must examine all expenses and ask "Is this program so critical that it is worth borrowing money to pay for it?"


2. 20% of GDP is near the tax revenue our economy generates when healthy. 


3. In 2010 federal spending accounted for 24.3% of federal spending. 


4. The federal government should not spend more on social programs than the states. 


5.  We can cut 1/2 of a trillion dollars from the 2016 federal budget.
