Start with cutting social security and unemployment and there’ll be another wave in two years and we won’t like it much.

Gotta start with cuts that create jobs. Start with the slaughter of regulatory agencies like the EPA, dept of energy etc.

We can extend unemployment benefits. One month at a time, in a separate bill each month, with each bill containing riders for other things we want. Let Zero be in the position of vetoing extensions to unemployment benefits just to thwart the will of the people.

Bingo!

Better yet, eliminate every department and agency established after 1960. The remaining ones, with the exception of the military, would have their budgets cut to 1980 levels.

Government sponsored medical plan should be eliminated, and government employees should have to live by the same rules as those in the private sector.

I agree 100%. Doing things which will create overwhelming employment opportunities, first, will lesson the stress of the change back to where we should have never left. There are so many avenues to which we can cut needless and wasteful spending, it’ll be difficult to decide where to start. The sheeple need to be made so busy they won’t have time to complain, as their self-esteem rises to unknown heights when they accomplish their tasks and become successful through their own merit......Reagan spoke very elegantly of that. It will be a very beautiful spring morning in America again.

Many people know that very large and painful spending cuts are the only way to fiscal sanity. Printing mo’ money, quantitative easing, etc., is not a responsible method of getting out of the Great Recession/Depression.

However, the approach and especially the rational for spending cuts is critical. The rational is paying down the nation debt. Sure the cut are painful, but we are paying down the debt. (Not to be confused with the annual budget deficit).

The moral argument is to pay down the debt and not leave it to the next generation, i.e., our kids. That is unfair, wrong, and morally bankrupt.

Every cut is justified by paying down the debt. Every push-back by unions and special interest is countered with “paying down the debt.”

Concurrently, stripping rules and regulations that hamper production is essential. Enviro-weenies need to be stripped of their standing in courts. They are not true stakeholders.

Moreover, most of the compliance enforcement needs to be privatized with elected leaders setting standards. Underwriters Laboratories is an excellent example of gov’t requiring the private sector's UL seal of approval in order to sell an electrical gidget within a state.

Another example of privatized compliance would be sacking all the gov’t building inspectors and approving private building inspectors. If your house crumbles ... the individual can sue the private inspector while try suing the gov’t inspector. Actually it is much better consumer protection.

I could go on and on, but this is the general direction.
