Sorry. Social Security and Medicare are what are going to eat us alive if nothing is done about them (by cutting benefits, and/or raising taxes to pay for them). Everything else is chicken feed in comparison. Even repealing Obamacare is trivial in comparison. If she is going to flatly refuse to do anything useful about it, then she isn't really serious abut cutting spending after all.

Cute.
The thing is, though, I went to her website to check her actual positions in her own words, and among other things it says this:

Yeah, I figured as much. No one is willing to touch the sacred cows. Having said that, one can at least hope that she won't make things much worse.
Bummer that she's not serious about the budget. Still a funny ad though.
