Of course the 2nd part of this grim evaluation is even IF you could get a POTUS elected with the right mindset could you ever convince Congress (regardless of the majority) to go along with throwing huge chunks of the budget into a wood chipper?
Nope. Not a chance. Handouts to get votes require big spending. No politician is going to pass up reelection to balance the budget. We were screwed a long time ago when the first politician opened up the treasury for votes.
