Enough bull****. Here's my start. Give me some more ideas.
- Cut ALL government funding to Oil Companies
- Cut ALL Defense Research Projects -- across the board, no more research on bigger guns -- a 3 year moratorium on DoD Research Projects
- Gay Marriage Legalized in ALL states -- this will raise tax revenues
- No More Wasting Money on Stupid things like a Blue Angels fly over at a sporting event
- Tax the $45 Billion in remittances illegals send out of the country annually at a 25% rate
Somehow that list does not add up to 4 trillion in my mind.
Nope, it just gives us a few extra billion. But if you read carefully you wil note that I'm saying that this is a START. And I asked for other ideas.
Hey, maybe we could do nothing about it and hope it goes away.
Torie has hardly preposed to do nothing. He has gone in depth in the past on how entitlements should be reformed for one. Something both sides have appearently decided to avoid touching at all for political reasons in Washington DC.
His starting point is far higher then yours.
Ah ... ok, so he could have detailed those suggestions, simply provided a link, or even made a passing reference that somewhere on the thousands of threads on this site he put forward some ideas. But he didn't. Instead he and others just say "well, your ideas do nothing".
Perhaps they are right, perhaps my initial 5 ideas are the equivalent of throwing a deck chair off the Titanic. But at least I'm throwing the deck chair. All I see in their comments are mindless criticism (likely because I'm proposing a cut or 2 that they don't like).
