$400 billion over 10 years for Medicare and they still spend all this pork. There is a need for a common sense Party that is dedicated to devolving the central government. Cut out the middle man and keep the money locally to begin with. As long as people keep calling for more government, it naturally will oblige. Disturbing.

Time for "NO PORK" candidate litmus test. But how does someone that like that win an election absent large turnout of self sufficient responsible voters? We have to change the image of what is good representation. It should be bad (a sin) to covet (tax) other people's goods for ones pet projects. The recipient community sees it as a virtue that their representative has taken other citizen's money, skimmed for their own sustenance, and then redistributed it according to their own corrupted ideals.

That is why, in reference to what we were talking about, we take each community, set them up with the Trusts and have the funds stay where they belong. Then, no need for pork, no political favors.

Solves lots of problems.
