He would be qualified as Surgeon General, but do we really need one?
No. I don't know of any "need", do you? It's a do-nothing BS cabinet position. It should have been eliminated along time ago with the Joycelyn Elders controversy during Clinton's soiling the Oval Office.
Make me President for one day and it's gone, along with other departments and with countless agencies.
Okay it takes an act of Congress to create, fund, or eliminate a cabinet level department. Still, with the "stroke of pen", I could eliminate many agencies and bureaucracies. So the lib/socialists say all those thousands are out of work and what do the poor dears do?
First, I'd say "get a job".
Secondly, "you had a great run at tax-payers exspense and still have your golden parachutes and incredible pensions".
Thirdly, "Once your Unemployment Benefits run out, you can apply for Welfare. "Work for Welfare" programs are now re-initated. Get a job or pick up trash, erase graffiti, dig holes, anything that helps your immediate community."
The following cabinet positions I would push Congress to defund or outright repeal:
Homeland Security (combine all fedov LE into the FBI and leave CIA separate but with forced cooperation by direction of the Oval Office), Interior, Agriculture, Education, Labor, Housing and Urban Development.
Those are the top of my list because I've never seen, read, heard, experienced ANY positive results from the 100's of billions we sink into those affirmative action cesspools. Maybe I've missed the "occasional" good they do, but you don't need an entire cabinet department for the "occasional".
Sheesh, President Cruz should just ask me to set up a small non-partisan NGO to work out the specifics, much like the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), but with a priority line to the President's ear.
I owned 3 different companies...I know how to read a Balance Sheet and a Profit & Loss Statement and adjust accordingly to maintain a profit. Yes, incredibly larger numbers. However, CFO's hire capable accountants who crunch the numbers and then they look at the top and bottom lines to determine what input for the CEO. The CEO then forwards that info along with projected sales, inventory, possible competition to the Chairman of the Board, President Cruz.
I realize I'm being a little simplistic in my economic comparison with the Fed Reserve in the mix, not to mention external trade issues, but the basics of a Balance Sheet nor a P&F never lie. Does your checkbook lie to you?
Ooh, good slogan for a economic advertisement. I own it since it's here in writing. You must request in writing if you want to use it. Just kidding.
