Cut the Department of Education, BIA, Homeland Security, EPA, OSHA, etc. etc. etc.
Let's do some math:
1 Promise made to men and women you send to war
+ 2 million men and women who go to war for you for practically no pay based on your promises
+ paid low lifes and bureaucrats who didn't serve
+ broken promises of compensation to those who went to war = X
I'll give you a hint. X does not = love and tranquility.
This issue is water under the bridge. No one promised welfare to the welfare queens. No one promised free housing, cable tv and Obama phones. Once that is cut, then you'll have a leg to stand on. Until then, pay your debts. This is compensation earned. It is nonnegotiable.
“Let’s do some math:”
Ok, we have 17+Trillion in debt, plus 90Trillion in unfunded liabilities, including all the federal spending under the sun.
“I’ll give you a hint. X does not = love and tranquility”
Ah so you think those who served (like me, by the way) will revolt? Not gonna happen - not in any significant way.
So you think you can threaten your way to solvency? You think you can whine your way to prosperity?
You think you can simply take others property because someone promised you something they couldn’t deliver?
You’re kind of an embarrassment.
