OK, privatize MediCaid.
Eliminate most departments.
Repeal SSDI, ferret-out and crack down on fraudsters.
Implement random drug testing and require work (actual work ala picking up roadside trash, cleaning graffiti, etc. and not work for someone else or school) to receive any welfare or housing assistance.
Half of recipients will drop out rather than work and be drug tested. Another $400B/yr saved.
PS. For SSDI fraud, I think more focus should be put on the doctors and revoking their medical licenses as well as prison time if they are complicit in this and Workman’s Comp fraud. And if SSDI has been approving recipients WITHOUT doctor’s reports, that should never have been allowed in the first place.
