However, BOOKMARK THIS POST SO, BECAUSE I WON't do it again.
The order of the list is not suggesting how I rate these cuts in importance.
#1 - Foreign aid - We give away far too much money to other countries. Why would that be our responsibility. If it's for places that have faced drought or natural disastors that should be a one time gift. Not an annual paycheck.
#2 - Close most of the military bases around the world. We have planes and ships to move troops,weapons and supplies.
#3 - Farm subsidies - I live in an agricultural area, and the farmers just laugh at the money they receive NOT to grow crops.
#4 - TSA - What a joke. Pay an army to stripseach 80 year old women who are flying from Iowa to Georgia to visit their grandchildren.
How am I doing so far?
#5 - Food stamps - The lack of oversight in that welfare program is beyond ridiculous. The black market in foodstamps keeps a lot of drug users...drug users.
#6 - Government studies. - I really don't think we need to know 95% of the bullshit that the government gives grants to study.
#7 - Government regulatory agencies. The list of agencies that watch business is totally out of control.
#8 - US postal system. Close it down and let UPS and FEDEX take it over. They will do it,and make money doing it.
Time for my meeting.
