That’s actually a pretty small list of things that wouldn’t get paid for. The other day I heard Erik Erikson whining on his radio show about the demise of NASA. NASA is the kind of thing you get rid of when you’re broke, not just NPR, Planned Parenthood or the Department of Education. Things I can also think of:
* Aid to Israel and any other foreign aid
* National Parks
* Most overseas military bases — pull out of Europe, South Korea, Japan and let them pay their own freight except for vital bases that support operations in our national interest
* Virtually all nonessential Federal agencies
I’m sure you all can think of things to add to the list. That is our new reality, courtesy of those who overspent and overpromised before us.
Get rid of our outrageous payments to the U.N. STOP THEM NOW!!!
It took 35 posts in this thread to get to that one point. It's now up to 132 posts and no Israeli Firsters are here to castigate you.
BTW- I wholeheartedly agree.
