Great comments!
Naturally the "vision" of scaling back government intervention, and empowering several hundred million free citizens to make their own choices about ordering their lives and advancing their interests, is "uninspired" to someone who's self-anointed role is to make those decisions for us, and who, if that vain delusion were ever to collapse, is otherwise utterly useless.

1. Cut the budgets of the following Federal Departments/Agencies by 25%: Defense, VA, State, DHS, Justice, NASA, Treasury ($216.6Bn)
2. Eliminate the following Federal Departments/Agencies: DHHS, Transportation, HUD, Education, Energy, Agriculture, Commerce, Labor, Interior, EPA, SSA, National Science Foundation (WTF?), Corps of Engineers, National Infrastructure Bank (WTF?), Corporation for National Community Service (WTF?), Small Business Administration, General Services Administration, Other Agencies, Other ($501.3Bn)
3. Cut the following Mandatory Spending by 25%: Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Other ($500.7Bn)
You now have a $834.4Bn surplus to pay down the debt and/or reduce taxes.
I love the now-standard lib media trope about the crumbling of our national infrastructure and how we need to raise taxes to fix it. The answer is quite simple: the state and local taxes that used to go into fixing bridges, tunnels and sewers now goes to the bloated public employee wages and benefits.
Our infrastructure is good to excellent. We don't have to squander billions on it nor on bringing high speed internet to remote rural places like Obongo has proposed. This "crumbling infrastructure" line is BS and a sop to the construction unions to get their votes
The only agenda that “inspires” this pin head is centralized government control expansion. Why do these idiots never die after all their failure in the world. They are a plague of stupidity on the ass of humanity.

The first real step on the road to U.S. recovery will be the declaration of bankruptcy by a major U.S. state, and its rational resolution — including overriding unpayable pensions, reducing outrageous salaries, and canceling dysfunctional programs.
Here's my plan to revive America
Blah, blah, blah -- more socialism, social engineering, taxes on individuals, and corporate "access capitalism".
Tom's out of ideas.
