Cutting Social Security and Medicare, but leaving the Unconstitutional Department of Education in place, does not make any sense.
Get rid of all unnecessary departments - then AFTER that is ALL DONE, see if any reductions are needed in SS.
Otherwise, SS will just get decreased every year (like it has been because COLA has been denied) in order to pay for more Federal employees.
that would be one good step
Zuckerberg and Gates and other people like them will do a better job at improving education than the government. Let’s foster that philanthropic movement, even if we may not agree with the philanthropists on all points, and we could make the Education Department a useless fossil.
I’d like to see all of the waste, like perks for fat cat beauracrats be cut first. I’m sure as big as the gov’t is, there are efficiecies that could be made too. It’s like in IL, they cut programs instead of cutting all the B.S. spending that goes on. Private planes, cars, fat paychecks for friends,etc. It’s all politics; make the voters mad whenever someone even mentions making budget cuts. Politics and glands have trumped public service.
