Also in the bill is an across the board 10% Reduction in ALL spending including (and especially) Congressional and Congressional staff paychecks and everyone else who works in the government, Union Workers included, though all Military personnel would be excluded.
Then he should sit back and cross his arms and dare Obama and the Democrats to oppose it.
That is a great idea....one that I’ve spoken to many around these parts.
The first act of a Republican Congress should be to reduce by 10%/yr the budgets of EVERY federal agency for 5 yrs, with the secondary goal of eliminating completely agencies such as the department of education, energy, labor, interior and agriculture. Stop every penny of foreign aid. Eliminate all corporate taxes, which they don’t pay anyway, and watch business expansion explode. Defund or repeal Obamacare. Establish a pseudo-flat tax with 2 rates: 10% and 20%...10% on income less than $200K and 20% of income over $200k and EVERYONE PAYS. If every one VOTES, then EVERYONE pays for the privilege. Seize the assets of ANYONE here illegally and deport them to their country of origin...make the program self-sustaining.
Ahhhh...who am I kidding.
We need to follow through, have a plane ready.
We need to Demonize their Leadership after they refuse to sign on to such a plan. Bring little kids to the Capital asking for their lunch, and show Chuck Shummer eating at some restaurant.
