tricky. all right. if democrats and republicans cannot agree on a budget by april 8th, the government will shut down. so what can be done to resolve this massive divide over the budget before it s too late if both sides agree we can t do a patchwork extension again? dick morris is back with us. he has a plan. dick, what s the plan? the they ve already agreed on $10 billion of the $61 billion in cuts the republicans want. democrats are now saying they re willing to go with another 20. that leaves the gap of $30 billion. we spend $50 billion a year on foreign aid. foreign economic and military assistance. that s up from $20 billion just 10 years ago and i think you can cut that. we spend $700 million a year to kenya. $500 million to mozambique, $600 million to ethiopia. $600 million to south africa.
