How to Cut Government
Spending
We
need a real and huge spending cut program. Start with the government
subsidies (there are over 2200 of them) - eliminate all of them (that
equates to about one trillion dollars a year). Subsidies, which
always interfere with the free marketplace, are essentially a "slice"
of Communism - the most failed Economic system ever. Next reduce
government workers' salaries to be more comparable to the private
sector for the same type of work, eliminate pensions and instead put
them on Social Security plus contribute 5% of income monthly to a
401K to get in line with voters' retirement benefits in the private
sector. No overtime pay for management employees. Go to automatic
federal income tax deductions similar to Social Security – no tax
forms to fill out - enabling us to eliminate most of the IRS. Abolish
the ridiculously expensive, debt ridden and job killing Obamacare.
Government regulators get a new job - instead of endlessly creating
more job killing regulations, they start of with a clean piece of
paper, make a minimum of needed regulations and eliminate the
millions of regulations on the books now. Consolidate government
agencies as has been recommended in the past. For instance, we don't
need separate departments for Medicare, Medicaid, and Senior
prescription drugs - one organization should be able to handle all of
it. 535 Congressman and senators don't need their individual huge
staffs repeating the work of each member 535 times. They get small
staffs and a small pool of workers for each political party to share
their work results with all their party members. We sell the 14,000
government buildings not being used. We don't give income tax refunds
to those who don't work. We don't give government housing to anyone
but limited military. Fathers whether wed or unwed must support their
children. Unwed, welfare mothers get no government support unless
they truthfully identify the fathers (who then must provide child
support). Illegal aliens get no government assistance, no jobs, no
free education, no place to live and we have a tough, mandatory
system with employers, schools, and apartment/housing rentals, and
the IRS to ensure that all gets done. If caught, then before
immediate deportation, we take all their assets - houses, furniture,
cash including bank and brokerage accounts, from them and send them
home with just the clothes on their backs. We toughen Social Security
Disability requirements, especially for reasons of “stress”.
Children must legitimately pass their school subjects to be promoted.
If they get left back twice, a social worker investigates the family
to see if it is in the best interests of the child to be taken away
from their family. All public unions are outlawed as they should be
as a corrupt conflict of interest (supporting the election of
politicians, then negotiating with these same politicians for wages
and benefits). Government agencies that are responsible for social
security or any form of welfare/subsidy must operate within
administrative costs of no more than 5% of their total budget (same
as a good charity). Since Medicare fraud is estimated to range from
10-25% (or hundreds of billions of dollars per year), while private
insurance fraud is less than 1%, fire the government workers and
instead hire insurance companies as third party providers to
administer Medicare and Medicaid.
