Close foreign bases and ports. Keep only the ones that are needed.
Stop unemplyment on 1/1/11
make it harder to get and keep welfare
flat tax and close the IRS
cut congress pay in 1/2
close the DoE, it made things worse
combine many of our police into larger forces
make states fund much of what they should be funding
DoT, closed, it only funds unions anyway
off the top of my head.
btw best post yet!
Close foreign bases and ports. Keep only the ones that are needed. - can agree, would just like to see a list and how many jobs it would potentially cost.
Stop unemplyment on 1/1/11- this might be the only one i disagree with since stopping unemployment may lead to higher crime and greater instances of poverty. thus becoming a bigger drain on the system itself
make it harder to get and keep welfare - 100% AGREED!
flat tax and close the IRS - agreed, but we may still need the IRS to deal with businesses and corporate taxes. but it could be scaled back trememdously
cut congress pay in 1/2 - 100% agreed
close the DoE, it made things worse - do you mean energy or education? DOE is energy, ED is education.
combine many of our police into larger forces - this could be a positive, but since police are a local and state budget concern, im not sure i see the direct impact to the federal budget. although this could significantly help the states.
make states fund much of what they should be funding - confused on exact programs. could you elaborate?
DoT, closed, it only funds unions anyway - this is not to viable, as there would be no one to maintain the roads systems. although it could be reformed to cut waste.
