Cuts?
I mean..the stuff the Tea Party has put on the table really amounts to very little and does more harm then good in the long run.
-Cut the Department of Education? Oh goody..no national standards and buh bye to college grants.
-Cut OSHA? Yep back to the good old days of miners dropping like flies and people getting burned alive in factories.
-Cut the EPA? Well dirty water, tarnished earth and crappy air worked so well a century ago. Why not bring it back.
-Get rid of Social Security? Well you might save a bit of cash..but seniors who made a mistake or two would be back to living in squalor and dying in misery.
-Get rid of Medicare? Now your talking. That's a high ticket item. And it basically insures that the life span of Americans will be cut by a quarter.
-Get rid of Welfare? Well it's always a good idea for inner cities to deprive the improvished of any means of getting out of their holes. Good for the crime rate and prison industries too.
Even with all of this..we'd still be running deficits unless taxes were raised.
Or Military expenditures cut.
Or Government Agencies limit what they do to their Jurisdiction.
Or Government Salaries and Compensation adjust to Reason.
Or Government took the Fraud and Gouging out of Higher Education, rather than making lame excuses for it.
Or if Government Rooted Out Incompetence and Redundancy.
Like I said, gutting the entire discretionary budget will save about $610 Billion. Your suggestions, if executed with perfect precision, will save maybe $75 billion. The deficit is $1.3 Trillion.
