The first thing we should do is means test all handout programs. The second is to stop paying for cosmetic surgery and drugs like Viagra. Limit healthcare spending to disease prevention and necessary surgery.

Double-dog dittos to that! Starting line -- All of the gimme-programs started by LBJ and his "Great Society". Paying able-bodied people (mostly women) to sit on their butts and collect a monthly check, food stamps, a housing allowance, health insurance, etc. is out-right theft! Paying them more money each month for each additional child, fathered by a different man is outrageous.
My insurance doesn't pay for cosmetic surgery and the feds won't allow a tax break for routine cosmetic surgery.
