How about we scrap, FHA, social security, medicare, medicaid - in fact get rid of ALL social welfare programs at the fed level, EPA, Dept of Ed, Dep of Energy, ATF, TSA, FDA, FCC, DOT, Dept of Labor, stop giving money to HAMAS and the muslim brotherhood, and on and on?
While that's going on, let's take a look at the money DoD is wasting and make sure that is on the chopping block. In 2003, everyone was up in arms because there wasn't enough SAPPI plates or armored vehicles......you should see the BS (like kevlar diapers) being foisted upon the infantry types now. Or the endless "find items to spend money on because otherwise you won't get as much next year," nonsense. By all means, cut wasteful spending from DoD and make sure what we're spending the $$$ on is giving us the most bang for the buck.
As an added note, let's INCREASE the size of the military and position sizable elements all along the southern border, season well with mines and garnish with machine guns. Give the troops orders to shoot on sight any illegal handout seeking invader trying to cross. Then charge a $10,000 fine/1 year imprisonment per illegal, to any employer that knowingly hires illegal immigrants....that means you with the well manicured lawn compliments of the illegal day laborers at Home Depot; further require any employer with more than 50 employees to use e-Verify/or similar during the hiring process.
While we're at it, let's repeal the 17th Amendment and remove some of fedgov's leverage against the states.
