| End all the parasite programs.
This means all programs which give anything to individuals (because they are "needy") and which the rest of us must pay for.
This includes any aid to farmers, or price supports. Virtually the entire farm program. Let them compete or go under!
This includes any health programs which pay people's personal medical bills. Make the tough cuts -- e.g., eliminate subsidies to kidney dialysis patients. IT'S TOO COSTLY! Let people practice preventive medicine in order to stay healthy. Medical costs are TOO HIGH -- it is time to "just say no!"
And of course all "welfare" programs, including any form of corporate welfare.
And get the state out of workers' comp altogether and also out of any role in private pension plans, especially any bailouts of pension plans. Let workers take full responsibility for their own health and safety and retirement.
No one should have to pay for someone else's personal "need".
Education is a legitimate social (nonpersonal) need for government to invest in. However, we already spend more per capita on education than any other country in the world. What is needed now is to improve the way the money is spent.
Also Social Security should be abolished (fat chance of that!) because it too is a parasite program. The elderly should have to pay their own way. If they didn't save during their working years, then that is their fault. Let them continue working and cut out the whining. Most of them can work and earn their own way.
Let all government grants be made subject to grand jury review before they can be approved. Federal grants for scientific research are legitimate (provided there is proper review of each grant) because private business does not have enough incentive to do this research, and the benefit is to all of us, not to any one company or individual. |
