That's hard to do when you have 55 million people who depend of the government for a paycheck.
And that's why it's vitally important that republicans find a way to reduce that number to about 2 million also.
I know that sounds impossible, but privatization should be a top goal of the Bush administration. It's not going to happen overnight, but social security is a good place to start. Devise a long term plan to turn social security into a bonified retirement savings plan, one that the government keeps it's sticky fingers out of.
Medicare, welfare and other programs should be studied and ways devised to get government out of them.
