A good start would be a budget of some kind...any kind that is not a trillion dollars underwater. Just the interest on our national debt is probably a few million a minute right now, we can't afford to borrow more money.Originally Posted by Hlleonard
Okay, here's where I'd start. Eliminate the Dept of Homeland Security, the Dept of Education, HUD, several other government alphabets, 20% cut for every civil servant making over $100,000 a year, put government sponsored unemployment back to 6 months or so instead of the 2 or 3 years it is now. I could go on for a long time here, but I'm too lazy.
If the Democrats were serious about everyone paying their fair share they'd be trying to implement a flat tax rate across the board. Eliminate the IRS (another gigantic bureaucracy) and all of us pay the same percentage.
That will NEVER fly, the Dems need government dependents' votes to stay in power. Obama phones, free money, etc. buys plenty of votes...maybe even that magical 2% Obama won by. You think?
