“she would balance the budget”
That is not remarkable. There are a lot of conservatives that would balance the budget, slashing the fat in D.C. left and right. The problem is, there are not enough conservatives in Congress.
But Michele is one of them and she would work to balance the budget.
That’s one of the reasons I support her.
I think I would immediately go after the agencies that directly kill jobs and eliminate or strip them to the bare bones. Things like the EPA, DOE, OSHA etc. I’d kill funding for high speed rail, smart grids, and rural internet, alternative energy etc. The national endowment for the arts would be gone, taxpayer dollars going overseas would be severely restricted. I would pick a fight with the UN and do everything I could to get them out of America. I’d stop taking social security out of those entering the workforce while paying off those leaving the workforce.
At the same time I would push “localization”. That means defederalizing schools, using federal highway funds for interstate highways and bridges only. The states and counties would be responsible for their own roads. I would eliminate FEMA and go back to the old civil defense system. I would let the state and local people decide on oil and gas drilling
I would eliminate the TSA and let the airlines hire their own security. I would eliminate the BATF and DHS while letting the FBI resume those duties.
Ya know, come to think of it. Maybe you should just make me emperor for a predetermined period of time.
