The key to solving the biggest problems

The United States has a lot of fiscal problems. We are carrying far too much debt. We are facing far too many long-term entitlement obligations. We can’t fund existing government operations without constant borrowing.

Most of the time, entitlement programs alone eat up most or all of the tax receipts taken in by the Treasury, leaving short-term debt to fund pretty much everything else.

Donald Trump’s plan to make America energy independent should be implemented as early as possible so as to start reducing the national debt.

We could start by ABOLISHING the Food Stamp Program and setup Soup Lines. Put as many as necessary wherever needed, the Stigma alone will prompt a large percentage to get off their oprah addicted fat asses and go to work.

Reward work. Penalize non-work.
Eliminate all taxes on the working poor... SS, FICA, Medicare, etc. Right now we penalize work. We reward non-work.

So at the same time, eliminate the fraud plagued EITC. Also cut back bigly the eligibility for disability. Cut the eligibility for other welfare.
