Each individual and organization should develop a list of budget cuts that could be enacted. We need $2 trillion in budget cuts to balance the budget and to begin to pay down the national debt. We also need to find a way to keep congress from using the savings to implement some new garbage that only Karl Marx would love.
It is said that without a vision the people perish. Our vision for the 2012 budget deliberations that will occur in 2011 should be: Roll back socialism, Marxism, and communism. Repeal the communist manifesto.
1) Cut the budget of all Czars to zero. There are various sundry definitions for czars. One possible definition: Anyone who reports directly to the president but who is not approved by congress. No advice and consent, no money.
2) Reduce the budget of the National Endowment for the Arts to zero.
3) Reduce the budget of the Department of Education to zero.
4) Reduce the budget of the EPA to zero. Revamp the EPA to explicitly remove any ability to run the economy on some sort of communist command basis.
5) Cut all federal funding for abortions to zero even if those abortions are performed indirectly by state or local governments. If those governments manipulate their funds so that it appears that state or local funds cover abortion so that federal funds can be spent elsewhere, cut the funding to zero. Let them pay for what they want to do out of their own funds.
6) Eliminate the Homeland Security Department. This was an expensive way to solve the following problem: Make the FBI talk to the CIA and make ICE talk to both of them.
7) Cut funding of all kinds to illegal aliens even if the president creates a finding or an executive order to keep the illegals here. Explicitly cut the funding to anyone who is in the US "legally" only by virtue of a presidential finding, order or other presidential act, to zero.
8) Cut all foreign aid to zero.
9) Cut all funding to energy initiatives, climate change initiatives, and global warming initiatives to zero.
10) Render all recess appointments null and void the moment congress is back in session.
11) By a majority vote any presidential finding or order is rendered null and void.
12) Cut all funding for new military weapons systems to zero.
13) No new taxes
