Social welfare programs (including social security)
Pensions for government employees (including military)
These are some things that would be very difficult to cut — although a discussion about finding areas for reduction wouldn’t be a bad idea.
But we have hundreds of thousands of civil servants sitting in cubicles dreaming up rules and regulations to make your life more difficult. We really should send these people home for good. Probably a 20% cut in the federal budget could be made with almost no pain.
The federal government today is mostly doing stuff that it isn’t supposed to do.
Could not agree more, CCG.
My social security EFT came through today right on time.
