Congress is allowed to do very few things. Everything else must be ended.
A good place to start to reduce the size of the federal govt. JustAl is right. We end aid to all nations who are enemies of this nation. Nothing for them except hardship and despair.
We need to end all foreign aid. It only buys us enemies.
Why "cap" foreign aid instead of end it outright? What article of the Constitution even makes that crap legal?
End foreign aid, participation in the UN, and food stamps to people in Conneticut.
sounds like a good start but there is still an entire alphabet soup to go...
Dream a little dream...
What about Defense and Foreign Affairs. They're the biggest waste.
Yu F***ing moron! When half the planet comes after us we would be sitting ducks. You are too young to remembe and too stupid to research, but before WWII out military was gutted since the GREAT WAR ( WWI) was seen to end wars for all times. Except it didn't. We were coming out of the Great Depession and our guys were malnourished, weak, ill and the country overall did not have the money nor the supplies to wage a war on 2 fronts. Our soldiers drilled with broom sticks en lieu of guns. Te entire country pulled to gether, war supplies, and the goods to make them became a top priority for EVERYONE, food, gas, sugar, all kinds of things were rationed. If England had not held out during the blitz you would be conversing in German right now. Want to talk about the waste in DEFENSE? Now forein policy, I just think we need to cowboy up and quit supporting regimes that hate us. I feel for their innocent civilians, but half (or more) of the money doesn't go to them anyway. It just enables the dictators to enjoy a much higher standard of living. PLEASE just STFU, since you have no idea what you are talking about, you are parroting Ron Paul's talking points without snapping to the fact that the vase majority disagree with his stands, hence hy he never got the nomination. No cheating, no denials, people thought he was crazy and didn't get him enough votes for SHIT, both tmes he ran. Do a litttle research instead of hanging on ebay, do some critical thinking and come to your OWN conclusions, with appropriate back up for why you feel that way. That's how the grownups (and most normal people) do it.
ABSOLUTELY!!! Especially defense. We have NOOO enemies around the world, who might want to do us harm. Besides that anyone who might possibly a grudge against us have a VERY GOOD reason for it and we deserve ALL punishment that they would deem just.
Except our military, rather then serving defense, has been exploited to serve Corporate Greed and corrupt foreign governments and no longer serves US citizens. It would be the easiest to cut if it weren't for the corruption the Corporate Greed caused.
Even Rand's father agrees.
Because Rand's Father is a moron.
Hey dipshit, you gonna defend America when the invaders come calling? Or in your unicorn fart world do you believe others would just let us be and the whole world would be happy is America had no military? Jesus you are twice as dumb as I thought or twice as ignorant. With people like you its no wonder we have the shitty government we have now. Eat feces and Expire Creepy Crowley. and please do it soon.
The Department of Defense is one of the few Federal Departments that is Constitutional.
OH SNAP!!! That was completely random and original!
random and original
Like BBs. No 2 are the same. :roll:
He left out Agriculture and Labor.
DEA, BATFE, EPA...ABCDEFGHIJK...WXYZ!!!!!
What a wonderful dream. Unfortunately it's a pipe dream.
I like Rand...very much, but he is prone to chasing smoke in the wind.
In a more reasonable time his proposals would have been accepted and possible, but now these quixotic ideas will be laughed at by all but the most intelligent and thoughtful.
Like the new avi!
If only...
Get rid of the frigging EPA too while you're at it Rand.
