Let’s start with the department of education. Don’t just cut it, eliminate it. What good has it really done for our country? I think it’s done more harm then good. But even that is only a fraction of the overall cuts needed. Everything across the board needs a baseline 40%+ cut in budget. Including your own salary. How about the department of transportation? Is it really needed anymore? It’s a perfect example of a government program that met it’s original goal and instead of being disbanded, it was expanded. How can we expect government spending to stay in check when every government organization that has failed miserably, instead of being punished and done away with, instead gets rewarded for thief failure with more funding to try and make it work? FEMA, ATFE, and EPA come to mind in those cases. FEMA just gets in the way of quick responses by creating unnecessary red tape and overpaying for jobs that others can do much faster and cheaper. ATFE has shown many times how ineffective it can be, and with the FBI, CIA, US Martials, Homeland Security, National Guard, and other more local law enforcement, are they really needed. The EPA is nothing more then a bully in government suits. Instead of working hard to find new and better ways of finding extracting, distributing and using energy, they are instead hard at work enforcing unreasonable and counterproductive laws and regulations. And as I pointed out already we have plenty of law enforcement. Take a lesson from Texas; they have a Sunset advisory board to help get rid of redundant and unnecessary departments and agencies. Tell Obama to stop his undeclared and unconstitutional war in Libya if he truly believes we have spent too much on the Military over the last decade. Do we really need a base in Germany these days? Maybe we can get Europe to start paying us for the service we provide them; if they even still want it. And for the war on terror, we have bigger threats closer to home that we need to refocus on; like tyranny from some of our own government agencies such as the TSA, and a still insecure boarder. Of course the biggest threat to the solvency of our great country are the not yet realized, but certainly coming liabilities that the current healthcare and Social Security demands will put on the budget. Start working on a plan to phase out Social Security. Only the government could get away with such a scheme without someone going to jail. Start handing Medicare over to the States where it belongs, and repeal “Obama Care” immediately. Finally, take a lesson from Canada. They’ve were recently in an even worse situation, but were able to cut back without causing massive economic collapse or riots in the streets, or any of the other claimed negative effects that the debt lovers keep trying to scare us with.
