We are broke, we should start acting like it.

1. Limit what medical procedures Medicaid pays for and what foods food stamps will buy. Include a minimal co-pay for medical procedures and prescription medications.
2. No more medical, educational, housing subsidies or food stamps to those living here illegally (the only investment I think we should make is a free ride back to where they came).
3. Re-evaluate the entire foreign aid system and cut it by at least 50%.
4. Disability benefits for only those that are truly disabled. Lazy and fat are not legitimate disabilities.
5. Drug testing and community work details for all those receiving welfare.
6. Re-evaluate the qualification process for minors qualifying for government funded Big Brother/Big Sister (PSR) services.

Get rid of the TSA. Stop all subsidies. Cut military spending and bring troops home. Basically every department in the govt. needs to be cut back. It's sad when the taxpayers and corporations can't even keep up with entitlement spending. Obviously, this area needs a lot of attention.

Prevent lobbyist from earmarking federal funds for use on ''off the wall projects' . Cut almost all of money going to the space program,tax imported goods at a higher rate than same goods made here.
We need to become energy independent, stop sending our money to the middle east. Imagine if the $300 billion dollars spent on foreign Oil stayed in the USA.
Instead of forcing EPA restrictions on companies. Encourage companies with tax reliefs and grants to come up with new more efficient technology.
Stop foreign Aid. Eygpt $1.5 billion, Iraq $1.7 bil, pakistan $2.1 bil, Afghan $2.3 bil, Israel $3.1 bil. Top 5 almost $11 billion?????
If you get government assistance you must be put to work cleaning up trash, digging ditches, get something for our money.
anyone who receives government aid who then has a child and will now get more govt aid must be sterilized to continue receiving Govt aid.
Make every part of Govt simple. To start a business you shouldn't have to hire a lawyer & accountant and pay countless fees to your local, State, and Federal Govt for licenses & permits. Then if you hire employees pay payroll taxes and health benefits. Not to mention if you do end up making a profit in addition to all the sales taxes you have already paid now you get to pay income taxes.
No wonder Corporations are moving out of the US.

Remove the EPA from their "power trip," the tax revenue lost from
all of the Coal Fired Power Plants they shut down is enough
to pay for millions more illegal aliens.
End all wind turbine substudies, tax payer money pays them
to put their power on the grid for basically nothing, causing
other power plants(coal, gas, hydro) to try and compete
with that, not possible.

What medication are they prescribing for your bi-polar condition???
Start with eliminating paid politicians, give it to those who do it out of passion instead of payment.
End National Parks/ Forests. I have seen Pennsylvania private forests that are healthy and managed, vs. western wildfires.
Private sector efficiency kicks the crap out of Gov. Waste.
I have a couple of hard working, honest illegals wandering town that would love to go to work. I would love to exchange them for the lazy *** white man down the street on welfare. Foreign Exchange redifined.
Be cautious what foreign aid you cut, some of that enables me to sell potatoes, while buying my iphones and rice.
Put the jailed population to work, take away their toys, make crime punishable, instead of a permanant old folks home.

I agree with bringing the troops home. That would help on the spending. The Military cant afford to take any more cuts. They already do more with less.... Do you realize that less than 1% actually serve our nation!?
If you did away with EPA, IRS (go with a flat tax), Obama Care, Foreign Aid (for those who hate us), Drug test anyone who collects a Govt check and get rid of there buddy (that really cant justify there job) would be an excellent start!!!

When I first read this I thought...."Now hold on there! Leave them alone."
Then as I pondered it I thought that taxing them shouldn't hurt them too bad.
Really, a good church does not show much if any profit at the end of the day anyway.
Most Churches should have no problem proving to the IRS that they made no money.
Furthermore, that would make donations to the Church deductable as a direct expense (more benefit than current system).
I am still on the fence on the idea as a whole, but my mind is open to it.
church-gov't
cant tax them, they r the gov't.....mite b stirring the pot....

The whole fact that you mention cost cutting in the first place...
I read nothing from you, that does not clearly stand against the one party, that WANTS to create spending cuts.
What do you stand for? If spending cuts are now so important to you, why are so openly against the party that pushes for them?
Typical Democrat that can't even tell you why they are one... You're sucking the gov't tit in some shape or form, but won't own up to it.
If you truely are a successful 63 year young man as you continue to tought and say you are, and require nothing from the gov't... Im confused as to why you would want someone in office that is CLEARLY going to bury this country, in the opposite of hard working mentality, that you've supposedly exercised all along?
What exactly was so intimidating about Mitt, or threatening to you? That he may stick up for the 2% of Americans that apparently make too much, but dont pay enough taxes, (because they were smart enough to figure out how to)?
You want to screw things up for us remaining 98% because its not "fair" or what?
I didnt like Mitt by any means, and wasn't happy about voting for him, but he had a much greater chance of atleast leveling out our problems, until those problems can be solved.
Now just look, whats obama's plan, no body knows yet, but it comes with a price tag of atleast 200 billion more to tag onto our insanely huge defecit.
He's just going to get all Americans much farther down the pipe before your entitlements cease. Ceasing them WILL come in the future, one way or the other. The question is, how much deeper in debt will this country be in when it happens?
This country was not founded on being fair, the American dream is ALL about making it happen for yourself.

Agreed for the first two, the last one could be accomplished by legalizing drugs / ending the failed war on drugs.
Funny people don't think we can cut the military budget..
