PEOPLE lose jobs BILLS don't get paid BILLS don't get paid PEOPLE lose jobs
I understand this. It's a downward spiral. But it has stopped before without much government intervention. This country has gone through countless
recessions. It's natural to how our economy works. One could make the argument that many of the things done during the great depression prolonged
it.
NORMALLY MONEY take a long time to flow downwards to the bottom
Where do you think all of the debt is going to go that's at the top right now? Yep, the same place...the bottom.
I am interested, what would an indy like yourself keep and leave, in regards to GOV spending?
Unemployment funding is a necessity. People can't be left to starve. They have to have some type of income. Also, it shouldn't be taxed. I have
no idea why it's taxed, it's one of the most ridiculous things I have seen. I sat on unemployment for 2 months after losing a job to outsourcing
and couldn't believe I had to pay taxes on it. Isn't that WHY I pay taxes?
Social Security? I don't know what the hell we should do with this. It has to change but it's such a mess i wouldn't even know where to begin.
For now it has to stay but it's going to fail eventually. It will be known as the greatest ponzi scheme of all time when it fails.
I'd pull ALL troops home from everywhere. EVERYWHERE. I'd pull back the entire "American Empire". This is absolutely necessary in terms of
cutting costs. It would certainly piss off many people though in other countries, but then again, most hate us anyway. We shouldn't be the world
police. I'd put troops on the Mexican border as soon they will be needed.
I'd keep funding for defense, but cut off funding for nukes. Having "one" nuke is enough of a threat to anyone. We don't need thousands.
Agencies like the Board of Education...GONE. Out the window. Our education system sucks anyway. I'm almost more akin to home schooling than
anything. Education changes the opinions of the public and in turn guides the world.
I'd cut just about everything that i didn't feel was vital. Would I make tax cuts? Eventually i would scrap the entire income tax. It couldn't
be done right away, but i would do it eventually. Imagine all of the money that would be put back into people's pockets. I know people complain
about business having all the money at the top but why is the government having it any better?
Let people do what they want with their money. Government policies have leeched the money from the people and gotten us to where we are today,
whether it be by taxes, or inflation.
I'd do whatever we could to live within our means, not beyond it.
This will never happen with the path we are on.
... or NWO i suppose 
, HEY and pull my thumb while your at it
