Just cut 5% across the board on everything, every year, until the deficit is eliminated. Force the government agencies to get by on less. There is so much waste and departments purposely use up all of their funding to ensure there is no budget cut the next year.
Wonder if they could not incentivize savings—for individual employees...Personal gain could be a great motivator...Like offering perks such as close parking,tickets to something a trip somewhere for realized departmental savings...
Saving money, and having employees do it because they want to...
5% on military and vets benefits? 5% on social security? 5% on everything else? I am all for it, but it will never happen.
If they just froze everything for three years, we would be OK.
