Be aware, the "talking points" from talking heads started Sunday. Their point is "fine, lets cut taxes, but where do we cut spending? Give us an itemized list of what YOU want to cut to ""pay" for these tax cuts".

I first heard this avenue of thought on Cavuto this past weekend, cannot recall who was spouting the drivel.

I tried to send Cavuto a pic of the Constitution asking him to please tell that guest I would cut anything not written in the Constitution and let States take back over programs THEY desire (with their taxes) instead of the Federal Gov't taking from one and giving to another.

If a program is SOOOOOOO important it needs to be funded, then damnit, put it to the Constitutional test, see if our useless congress-critters can get it in there..My bet is they can't!

I should note as well, I have heard a couple local liberals trying this line is well. Best I can tell, the tactic is to derail the movement in general by "throwing" the "cut spending" thing back in our laps and they stand back and watch the movement try to justify where spending should be cut (it would be a melee and it is a good tactic by the left).
So again, I say be aware of that avenue; disruption from within is the goal.

First cut welfare, it is 5 years max now? Cut it to 2 years. During that time on welfare they must be in some sort of training, education or have the ability to gain employment and looking. I am not sure how to handle the under 18 rule. Children can stay on welfare until they are 18 while in the parents home. Disabled and veterans are exceptions to this rule.

All illegals must leave NOW. No longer can they go to school,get government aid or medical care until they become legal. If caught they pay by deportation and all funds and material objects, cars, etc confiscated to pay for their expenses.

No AID to dictator countries. Harboring Hamas? Until he is gone you get nothing.

Green energy is to be gradual and paid by the corporations who will benefit. Not the oil companies or taxpayers.

Congress can no longer be involved in any votes where they will gain monetarily. All property gained should be handed over and sold.

Stop taxpayers funded abortions here and any other countries.

Call in all money loaned to other countries. No Jubliee act of debt cancellation.

No longer bail out failed corporations.

Audit the federal reserve.

No more theft of social security and medicare.

States held accountable for their budgets or impeached.

Medical costs. Everyone has to have some skin in the game. Everyone pays for insurance decided by a means test for poverty and low income.

Anyone else?
