Provide for the common defense.
All else can be done away with.
EPA: Gone
Funding for NPR: Gone
HHS: gone
the list goes on........
EXACTLY! The list sure does go on! Congress can cut funding to all the foreign countries who are our enemies, and my favorite would be to get rid of the Department of Education!
I want this shouted from the rooftops! The Federal government has been out of scope on its responsibilities for over a century, and it’s time to reel them back in.
That being said, let us also remember that many programs lauded by Americans will and should be cut under this moniker unless understood to be necessary for defense: i.e. NASA. However, as I recall, NASA started off as a private entity before the Fed subsidized and eventually subsumed it, no?
If only your words could become reality. Can you imagine how wonderful this Nation would be again?
Ron Paul is the only one who will do it. The others like democracy over a Republic.
I would also keep the US mint and return to coining money with real value (i.e. silver and gold). Eliminate the Federal Reserve.
