SPECIAL POST
Slice the cost of government by 50%. Each and every Department, including Congress and Administration, gets cut by 50%. They need to show us that they are serious. Get rid of the dead wood. Cut lavish spending on things we don’t need and things that are ridiculous. Only the prisons and the Supreme Court go untouched. At the same time, keep the level of spending on front-line services intact.
Does this mean we have to cut a lot of high-paying jobs in Washington and shift our spending to actual provision of service to the American public? Yes, let’s empty a lot of those high-rent government office spaces. Let’s bring some troops home from places where they are not needed and let’s get rid of a whole slew of officers while we are at it. We can keep the troop levels as they are and significantly cut expenses at the same time.
Until they do these things, they’d better leave Social Security, Medicare and Veterans benefits alone. They have no right to saddle the people who use these services with the costs of repaying a debt that was created by gross negligence and horrible mismanagement. We’re not the ones to blame here; they are.
It’s just that simple. Cut the government and cut costs by 50%... and then we’ll talk about some adjustment of these benefits.
