1. Cut Regulations
2. Set economic policies that maximize growth (i.e.no dividend and savings taxes, Corporate Tax is 10%).
3. By EO close Agencies such as the EPA, Energy, Agriculture etc. because we cannot afford them.
4. Stop all federal funding to non essential organizations like Sierra Club, ACORN (whatever it is called now).
Once the economy is growing and unemployment (U6) is down to 10%
put in place new SS limits (i.e. cannot collect until 70yrs old for those born after 19__). Recommend Tort Reform.
That would be a start. The real cuts must come in entitlements to balance our books and have any chance at getting out from underneath our debt. SSI at 70 won’t be popular, but it would make sense.
Cutting agencies will negatively impact unions and our own Hollande will come along to promise the leeches a payday. One apathetic election for the GOP and it’s a repeat of France. Cutting government funds to progressive groups would also motivate them in the mid-terms and the next election.
One term is likely because the progressives will promise their constituency that they will reverse the cuts.
