No, instead lets end all social programs within 2 years. Anything not constitutionally mandated needs to be done away with. Only customs, active military, and executive, legislative, and judicial branch every day costs and eliminate all financial assistance to the states immediately!
Abolish most of the justice department, including the FBI, and most other enforcement bodies. Leaving only a budget for the USSC, and a small amount of other things.
Have a land auction of all federal lands, and basically eliminate the need for the department of the interior.
Then eliminate entirely the following entitlement riddled rich people leaching departments
-Agriculture
-Commerce
-Labor
-HHS
-HUD
-Transportation
-Energy
-Education
-Veteran Affairs
-Homeland Security
-all foreign aide
-all market regulation means
and plenty of other things
That way the feds are kept in check and we can minimize the tax burden on Americans. Then we can create that utopia that is so craved. Think about it, it would be so great to have the aristocracy that the founding fathers actually wanted.
I cant wait for the day that I can pay my employees what I think they are worth with consideration to maximize my personal bottom line. That way I can invest more into my business and hire more people on a wage they cant afford to live on.
Then I can build private infastructure without regard anyone else, and trade in the market freely without that pesky government oversight.
-GenSeneca, the fact of the matter is that the debt does matter as is evidenced now. Is that debt does matter, always has and always will. It boils down to a vastly inept leadership that has allowed this to happen, especially unchecked for 8 years, while lowering taxes. Now I know for a fact that I dont have the ability to do this with my checkbook, but when George W. Bush and long dead of natural causes, I and my kids, and probably grand kids will be paying for the situation we find ourselves in.
Personally Id rather have a tax and spend democrat in the leadership, rather than a borrow and blow Republican. Cheney showed his lack of touch with reality when he said that deficits dont matter.
