Cutting spending, cutting government are one and the same. Cut spending means cut government. Cutting government spending will definitely lead to reductions in government and lower taxes. The Republican House is missing the boat by failing to cut spending or at least holding the line. The increase in the debt limit was a major GOP blunder. The super committee is an unmitigated disaster.
Slightly off on the number. It’s closer to 286 federal job training programs.
Great list.
I’ll toss another one out there. Take all “welfare” payments, whether it’s clothing, housing, food, money, medical (and YES, I mean Medicare and Medicaid) and consolidate them all into one federal department. Cut all the overhead. We’re talking reducing some 1700 agencies, departments and organizations into one. We could completely overhaul the way we do the business of doing government and save a trillion or two each year in the process.
Great outline.
If the republican candidate would use this and run with it they win big, combine with a Flat tax or repeal the 16th and go to a NRST and the economy booms. The figures they cite are very conservative these policies would lead to a situation of full employment wages would rise because fo the demand for workers.
