Both our politicians and the electorate are very very shortsighted.
As I posted earlier, Ryan has a plan that would transition us away from the welfare state.
The electorate doesn’t really give a crap about some rule change that wouldn’t affect them for 5 or 10 years.
But the power of their money would affect them now.
As I said before, our Government is nothing more than a “Middle Man”, a pass through entity that happens to have the ability to make rules and collect the money with massive overhead.
Remove/limit their ability to make rules/regulations.
Freeze their budgets.
States need to reject Federal funds.
Flood the Feds with money.
At this point we can tell the feds that any and all excess funds are to be allocated to the current budget (which will be easily paid for) then towards future commitments.
Not really. He is not proposing getting rid of Medicare or SS or Medicaid or food stamps.

They are elected by the voters because they are doing what they want.

You can't freeze the increasing costs of the entitlement programs or debt servicing costs. They are increasing because we have an aging population.
States need to reject Federal funds.
LOL. They have become dependent upon them. If they reject them, how do they raise the revenue to pay the bills? Medicaid alone takes up 22% of state budgets.

Where is the money coming from? We are already incurring annual deficits of half a billion a year. Obama averaged over $1 trillion a year in deficits during his first term.
