Right now?
I know you have math issues, so here it is.
616 (deficit) / 3950 (total) = 15.6%.
So, in order to close the deficit, we should reduce spending on everything at least 16%.
Us estimated to spend 3.95 trillion this year, 616 billion dollar deficit.

For once we agree on something.
After all, it's not much of a stretch to say 16% of all govt spending is wasted, right Ras?
