Social Security and Medicare ARE our bloated government.
Of course, nothing else in this bloated government could be cut.
Of course not. The Gubmint always makes cuts to things that will hurt the little people the most.
It's a backhand slap to the people who want taxes to be lower. It has been happening ever since Prop. 13 in CA and Prop. 2 1/2 in MA.
"Oh, you want lower taxes? Fine. We'll have to cut down on staffing of the police forces and teachers and fire departments...and possibly some other essential services. Oh, you thought we would trim the fat and cut useless staff at the Sate House? Be careful what you wish for."
Social Security and Medicare ARE our bloated government.
Won’t have to cut spending. They’ll just take it from your 401k/IRA.
Yes, get rid of half of the bloated bureaucracies and the typical American wouldn't notice the difference. That would save a lot. Hope Trump is looking at this. Few of these various Departments of . . . and other bureaucracies existed in 1946 or 1962 for that matter. Why do we need them now?
Every now and then I read about some government agency and wonder what they do. What does that Consumer Protection outfit really do? Do we really need it? Take each one and review the cost efficacy/rate of return/what do they do analysis. I bet most of them could be cut in half.
I really hope Trump, sometime in his Presidency, does a private sector analysis of each agency. Would he fire half of the people? Tighten their budgets?
And then there's all this phony Grant business. Getting a grant to study you name it esoterica.
Go Trump! Slash and Burn!
