Eliminate DHS who has twice the budget of the USMC. Eliminate TSA. Stop these retarded wars. Stop foreign aid,, you don’t do charity work with borrowed money. Eliminate the dept of Education. Quit buying rifles for the Cartels. No billion dollar subs as a gift for Egypt. Quit NATO. Eliminate the DOE. Eliminate Obamacare. Build the damned pipeline. Stop 100% of green subsidies. The list is almost endless,,,,

Good strategy, when the Republicans control all three branches of government.

My question, however, is: what can we do this month?

Get the public's attention.

When the Republicans control all three branches of government they will be, at best, Bush. There will be no improvement because of Republican control of the elected portion of the government. Republicans, including Tea Party Republicans, will not do a thing to eliminate EPA and Homeland Security or even TSA or any other Federal agency and those agenciess ARE the government. The elected portion provides a lot of fire and thunder but their influence is small, now and growing less.

“Good strategy, when the Republicans control all three branches of government.”

They did. And did nothing with the opportunity.
When they do again, they’ll squander that opportunity too.

The problem is systemic and cultural. Nobody wants to be the one to actually slash spending: others won’t let them, and they’ll be politically (if not metabolically) destroyed if they do. Republicans have no more incentive to stop spending than Democrats do. Won’t get fixed until the fire burns itself out. Only solution is individual: be self sufficient and teach your offspring the same.

GOP won't do much of anything. Conservatives will have to take the lead, as they have been lately.
