It's a start. We'll never totally agree on what to cut, but, it is a start.

Bravo to Barack. Local and state employees are laying off and furloughing staff but the Feds increased salaries compared to the private sector.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.

I am a government worker. Every $ 1.00 I earn...the government keeps 33% Fed, 15% Social Security, 4% State, and 2% FICA. That's 54% and we haven't even started calculating the fees, sales taxes, property taxes, etc. Federally mandated health care takes another 8% of my paycheck. Crap, I am left with just 38% of my pay. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Less than 1991, myself - and that's pretty far down there.
So cut education 100% eh? Close ALL schools then? THAT bodes well for the future.

That was cut the Federal Department of Education, not education. Keep educational money and control, local.
